SNEAK PEEK! Coming Soon! DIP - Dynamic Input Prompt

I've been working hard on a new macro for Dynamic Input Prompts. I thought I'd tease you with some pre-release pics:

Here's a sneak peek at the designer:

When a you fill out the values in the prompt and click OK, you get a single JSON variable with all the responses. You can assign the result to individual variables, as easily as this:

But the real advantage of returning the responses as one variable, is you can save them so they can be edited edit it later. This is perfect for those of us who release macros that have customizable options. The users won't lose their options when we release new versions. (This is actually my initial motivation, as you might be able to tell from this example.)

Feel free to ask questions. Who knows, I might even incorporate some of your suggestions!

Gads, the timing of this seems perfect: I'm working on a macro, and need an input form that has both a multi-line text field (Snippet) and a pop-up menu (Prompt for User Input). I've written an HTML prompt, but this looks much nicer!

I am experimenting with Custom HTML prompt which should look like the standard macOS window (light/dark) mode including buttons. Doesn't really work yet. This seems like an excellent alternative. Can't wait to try this.
