I've got a number of options in one of my build scripts, that are in some cases interdependant.&nbsp; For example, if the user enables one optional build feature, they can or must also set certain other parameters.&nbsp; If the user disables the feature, some of those parameters are no longer available.

If the people running the build script know everything about how it works, I can just use the prompt for variables action.&nbsp; If, however, they're less familiar I want the script to guide them in selecting everything correctly - without popping up dialog after dialog after dialog.

What's a good way of accomplishing this?&nbsp; I thought about creating a custom dialog using FB Action Studio, but can I then display that dialog during execution of a build script?

Thx

-Mark

Hi Mark   
  
 Unfortunately the custom action api does not provide any built in means to display custom dialogs. I don’t believe we have any plans to add such a feature. I guess you could write your own ‘launcher’ app with the UI as you need and have it launch FB.
