“Prompt for User Input” Dubble Underscore Results
I'm having trouble getting the desired prompt window, to display what I'd like, and not what the variable's name is.
For example, all my variables starts with "Var" followed by the appropriate title eg. VarTest.
I don't want "VarTest" to be shown as the option, I would like something else to be shown, like "A", but it still need to write the input result to "VarTest".
According to the wiki, this should be done by adding the Name followed by a double underscore.
https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/action/Prompt_for_User_Input?s[]=prompt&s[]=user
In this test macro, i've put down 3 scenarios how one can put the double underscore before or after the variable, plus the normal way.
The first one displays what I wanted, but it does not write the value to the variable, and the double underscore is inserted afterwards [VarTest__A]
The second one is done according to the wiki before the variable, but does not replace the display of the variable.[A__VarTest]
The third one (normal one), is the only one that allows it to write to the variable.[VarTest]
If you run this test macro, be sure to insert only the value in one of these 3 inputs to see what i mean with the results displayed.
I'm probably missing something really simple here, but this breaks my brain. hehe
Thanks!
