Human-in-the-loop Command improvement

Functionality that would be helpful is if our human in the loop commands had these additional functionality.


  1. Multiple Select Options - Have the ability to have customizable Buttons and dropdowns by feeding in a list

  2. Allow for message box command to expire after a given timeout (IE Display message, then timeout afte 500ms)

  3. Message box command should allow for clean looking display of large text. When we use the mssage box command if it's multiple lines long and significant text bound to the displaying message, allow it to show cleanly and expand the size of the messagebox, rather than non overflow.

    This is a valid requirement and will be implemented by integrating IBM RPA with IBM App Designer, where you can design your own UIs and integrate with RPA commands.
