Possible to Create a Text Form?

Is it possible to create a text form such that when a button is clicked, a dialog appears with drop-downs and text boxes to curate user input. That user input can then be tagged and saved to the Job-Notes field. 

 

To be clear, I'm not asking someone to do this for me here (not for free, at least). Just wondering if text handling like this is possible, as the API examples seem to use using the Parameters field to save values, and text values do not seem to be valid entries in the Expression field, even if "No Units" is selected.

Hi @jonathanBUCVS -San.

 

Is there a standard feature here, or is it missing?

I am looking for a form-based style for text input with a dialog box, drop downs and text fields, as opposed to a large blank space. I also need it readable by the post processor, so writing to the Job-Notes field would be better suited for my intensions.

For a demonstration on available input controls, set up the Python script with its resources as described on

Fusion Help | Command Inputs API Sample | Autodesk

and run it.

 

Various CAM objects of the API have a notes property:
