Description

Is there any plan to include a feature for receiving user input in Workflows? I'm aware that there's already discussion about the Variable Store (Issue 247), which might serve as an alternative to what I'm suggesting. However, I was thinking it would be great if, during the execution of Active or Convert Workflows, users could input values through a modal, allowing the Workflow to perform various operations based on these inputs.

Use cases

For example:

Use a single hashing Workflow where the type of hash (md5, sha1, sha2, etc.) is chosen via an input parameter.
If there's an Active Workflow for testing SSRF, it could prompt for an allowed domain to test bypass patterns.

Current plan is to not support it (short term) but might change based on feedback. The reasons are:

Plugin exist for that reason
Convert workflows are used in non-interactive places like automate payload processing

I would not necessarily be against it but we would need a new concept like workflow inputs and a way to build a UI.

Thank you for your feedback! I agree with your opinion. It's just that Workflow seems easier to create and manage compared to Plugin, so I've been experimenting with making various things using Workflow. During this process, I found myself wishing for this features :)
