Multi-Step Prompt

[freshlesh3]

I am new to KM so excuse me if this is a simple macro to create. I am trying to make a multi-step prompt (wizard?). Do this, click next, then do this, maybe even make the prompts conditional. It wouldn't need to interface with anything for now, just a decision tree. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

@freshlesh3 I would have implemented this exactly as in your macro. There would be the possibility to work with a picklist. Like here:

Methods to Pick from a List [Tutorial]

This tutorial provides a macro that shows how to use four methods available in Keyboard Maestro to provide a prompt for the user to select an item from a list. Prompt For User Input with Popup field Prompt With List AppleScript with Choose From List Spotlight-like Prompt by @DanThomas Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages. IMO, all of them should be tools in your automation toolkit, so you can always pick the best tool for the job. Personally, #4 is my favorite, even…

Thank you @appleianer, I'm still tinkering with your suggestion but my goal is more to open multiple prompts in succession than selecting the option from a list. Is there something that I am missing from the linked method?

Your macro looks like it should do what you want. Have you tested it?

If not, please provide specific questions.

Hi @JMichaelTX, I have tested it but it closes after the first prompt. I'm not sure what I'm missing.

I have tested it but it closes after the first prompt.

You have the wrong KM Variable for the Switch-Case: Should be "Choose"

Thanks so much @JMichaelTX. Really appreciate your attention to detail. Works great! I'll post my macro once I have the workflow complete.
