Manual input from user while running selenium IDE script

Question

can user is able to give manual input while running selenium IDE script? For ex. If there is name field then can we open input box everytime script runs so that user can give hi

Answer 1

As of 2020 using Selenium IDE 3.16.1, I found the following config worked by the suggested answers above. (I re-answered the question as above answers did not clearly combined all pieces)

Command : execute script

Target : return prompt("Question Text","Default value");

Value : yourVariableName

and fill in the input box by the stored var:

Command : type

Target : (your selector)

Value : ${yourVariableName}
