Description

Does the web enablement feature used by the Actions prompter allow for the multiple choice selection box to also let users to input custom value?

Think of CRTBNDRPG keyword AUT(). It has default values of *LIBCRTAUT, *ALL, *CHANGE, *USE, *EXCLUDE but also allows for a user to supply another value.

Currently, I list the command special values in the prompt text and make the command user file out the value, even if its a special value of the command.

Research direction
Investigate the web enablement feature used by the Actions prompter, and add support for user input in addition to predefined options. Look at how other input methods (e.g., input box) are implemented in the extension's UI layer.
