I have a button that duplicates an entity type (`Process`) and its children (also `Process`, self referenced) to another entity type (`Task`). It also copies document data and assigns the newly created `Tasks` to the current user.

Everything is fine so far. What I’m looking for is a way to prompt the user to assign the newly created `Tasks` to a `Project`, much like the prompt that exists today. Only done programmatically.

1. Is it possible to prompt the user for information from within a script?

It isn’t possible.  
But I wonder why you need to use a script in the first place.  
Is it not possible to achieve what you want with the standard no-code actions?

If not, then I suggest a combination. Use the ‘update’ action to request a value from the user, and then use this value in your script.

I’m probably thinking about this the wrong way.

But I thought I could/wanted do this without connecting the `Process` entity to the `Project`/`Task` entities since they don’t have a any other connection use cases other than this scenario (copy Process to Tasks and connect Tasks to Project. And that this way would be “cleaner”.

I’ll try with creating a relation between the entities and then hiding them. Thanks!
