Multiple selection list

[quimm2003]

Hi there!

Thanks for your awesome work!

I guess it would be useful a list type to create a select multiple element, which passes a list with the selections to the script's parameter.

For example, I use a script to issue a "git status --porcelain" to get a list of modified and untracked files. I want some of this files to be processed by the script.

Thanks.

Hi @quimm2003, thanks for the new proposal. Sounds reasonable.
How would you expect these multiple values to be passed to your script? As comma-separated values or as positional arguments?
e.g.
my_script.sh --files file1.txt,file2.txt
OR
my_script.sh --files file1.txt file2.txt

Or may be in a completely different way?

Hi @bugy,

my script expects the file paths to be passed as positional arguments. e.g.: my_script [options] file1 file2. Nevertheless, it will be easy to adapt my script to any of your proposals.

Hi @quimm2003, got it, thanks. For me it doesn't matter much, how to implement it.
Unfortunately the estimate delivery time for this feature will be not less than 2 weeks (probably around end of July), because of other issues. Hopefully it's not that bad for you

Thank you very much @bugy! No, it is not bad... I can still launch the script at command line... ;-)

Added multiselect parameters support. Type name: multiselect
The values will be passed to the script either as a single parameter (comma-separated by default) - this is default behaviour. Or as multiple arguments
This can be configured via 2 options:
multiple_arguments (boolean) - if True, then each value will be passed as a separate argument. separator will be ignored. Default: False
separator (string) - which separator should be used for single-arg mode. Can be any string. Default: ","

Possible values can be specified with "values" option (the same as in list type)
Default values should be specified as a JSON array (single default value can be specified as a string as well).

Works like a charm! Thank you very much @bugy!
