Feedback and Ideas


 Currently, Glean Agent allows users to dynamically create text input fields by simply typing 

 within a Step's instructions. This is an incredibly convenient feature that speeds up the initial setup.

However, this functionality is currently limited to Text Fields only. If a user needs a different input type (such as a Date or Multiple Choice) or needs to add a description/default value, they must navigate away from the Step editor back to the "Input" trigger settings. This context-switching breaks the creative flow, especially during the iterative process of refining and rearranging steps.


 I request an expansion of the inline field definition syntax to allow for full field configuration directly within the instruction text. Specifically:

Support for Multiple Field Types: Allow users to specify the type of field (e.g., 

Inline Configuration: Enable setting additional parameters such as Descriptions and Default Values without leaving the Step editor.

[[Field Name | type=Date | desc="Select the project deadline" | default="2026-04-01"]]

Seamless Creation Workflow: Users can build and iterate on complex Agents without jumping between different configuration screens. This "write-as-you-configure" approach is much more intuitive.

Rapid Prototyping: Being able to define multiple choice options or document requirements on the fly allows for faster testing of Agent logic.

Improved Usability for Power Users: For those who frequently rearrange steps and logic, this feature significantly reduces the manual overhead of managing input fields separately.

Feature Request: Enhanced Inline Field Definition for Glean Agent Steps
