dialog

This function will trigger a pop-up with notes created by you. You can add a selection of options with answers to choose from, for example, Yes or No.

The running script is put on hold until the user picked an answer.

The result can be stored in a field or variable and therefore be processed in the further execution of the script.

Syntax

if dialog(title, message, answerOptions) = "Yes, get rid of it." then
