You can add text inputs and text areas, selectors, and radio buttons. You can even customize the look and feel of your form with your own CSS.

• We have added a new Dashboard Response module, which will render script variables to a beautiful dashboard interface. You can use this response in conjunction with the Form Trigger, as well as the HTTP Trigger.

• In the Python and JavaScript modules, we have made working with variables easier by adding a "variables" dictionary. This dictionary can be used to reference variables from your script in your Python and JavaScript code, as well as output new variables into your script. (The "variables" dictionary replaces the old "inputs" and "outputs" dictionaries, although these legacy dictionaries are still available, so your existing scripts won't break.)

# Read in variables created previously in your script
x = variables[ 'An_Existing_Variable' ]
​
# Create new variables for use later in your script
variables[ 'First_Output' ] = 'Testing'
