Hi there,

Any ideas how I can create a choice input step which allows multiple selections? I've tried to use:

Extended Choice Parameter plugin but it's not supported yet (https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-32188)
Active Choice plugin but https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-39742
Dynamic extended choice parameter but it's not supported in the BlueOcean Pipeline View
Extensible choice parameter plugin but it doesn't allow multiple choices

Thanks

I was able to programmatically generate an input form based on a list of parameters

@NonCPS
def createBooleanParameter(String desc, String value){
   return [$class: 'BooleanParameterDefinition', defaultValue: true, description: desc, name: value]
}
 
node {
 def userInput = input(
 id: 'userInput', message: 'The below Scenarios failed, let\'s rerun them?', parameters: [
    createBooleanParameter('ScenarioA','Platform1-VariantA'),
    createBooleanParameter('ScenarioB','Platform1-VariantB'),
    createBooleanParameter('ScenarioC','Platform3-VariantA')
 ])
 
 // BooleanParameters are based on Key=> String based and Value=> Boolean based
 // then iterate through the list of parameters which are enable
 userInput?.findAll{ it.value }?.each {
    println it.key.toString()
 }

But unfortunately I need a bit more of dynamism, which means, I'd need to inject those input parameters on the fly since I don't know them until certain stage of the pipeline.
