# Parameters ## Common settings These settings are standard common settings for all types of parameters. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Common settings" %} ```json { "name": , "label": , "help": , "required": , // default: false "default": , "advanced": // default: false } ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ### name * Type: `String` * **Required** * An internal parameter name. This is the key to access the value in the resulting object. * Can contain arbitrary characters. * **Avoid** setting it to any of the [Make reserved words](#undefined). ### label * Type: `String` * What the user sees in the UI instead of the parameter name. ### help * Type: `String` * A more detailed description about the parameter and/or how to use it. Used when the label alone is insufficient. ### type * Type: `String` * **Required** * Type of the parameter. Each type has its own documentation page. * Always enter types in lowercase. * Available types of parameters are: * [Array](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/array.md) - An array of items of the same type * [Boolean](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/boolean.md) - A `true` or `false` value * [Buffer](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/buffer.md) - A binary buffer (file data) * [Cert](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/cert.md) - A certificate in PEM format * [Collection](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/collection.md) - An object with `key: value` pairs * [Color](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/color.md) - Hexadecimal color input * [Date](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/date.md) - Date or date with time (ISO 8601) * [Email](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/email.md) - Allows only a valid email address to be filled in * [File](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/folder-file.md) - A file selection for use with RPCs * [Filename](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/filename.md) - A file name with extension * [Filter](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/filter.md) - An advanced parameter used for filtering * [Folder](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/folder-file.md) - A folder selection for use with RPCs * [Hidden](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/hidden.md) - A parameter that is hidden from the user * [Integer](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/integer-uinteger.md) - A whole number * [JSON](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/json.md) - A valid JSON string * [Number](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/number.md) - A number that can include a decimal or fractional parts * [Password](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/password.md) - Marks passwords and secrets when creating a connection to avoid exposing them * [Path](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/path.md) - A path to a file or a folder * [Pkey](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/pkey.md) - A private key in PEM format * [Port](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/port.md) - A whole number in the range from 1 to 65535 * [Select](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/select.md) - A selection from predefined values (dropdown or checkboxes) * [Text](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/text.md) - A plain text value * [Time](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/time.md) - Time in `hh:mm` format * [Timestamp](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/timestamp.md) - A timestamp in Unix epoch format (number of second since 01/01/1970 00:00:00 UTC) * [Timezone](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/timezone.md) - A time zone name in IANA ID format (e.g. Europe/Prague) * [Uinteger](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/integer-uinteger.md) - A positive whole number, 0 and above * [URL](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/url.md) - A URL address * [UUID](/custom-apps-documentation/block-elements/parameters/uuid.md) - UUID ### mappable * Type: `Boolean` * Default: `true` * Specifies if the user can map a value to the field by inputting a value from another module, manually typing it, or using functions. When set to `false`, the user can only select a value instead. Used for types such as `select` or `boolean`. ### editable {% hint style="info" %} This property should only be used in Connection parameters. For module parameters, use `mappable` instead. {% endhint %} * Type: `Boolean` * Default: `false` * Specifies if the parameter is editable. Use this property to set parameters that should be possible to change when users want to update a connection. ### required * Type: `Boolean` * Default: `false` * Specifies if the parameter is required. The module will show an error when the user tries to save it without providing all the required parameters. ### default * Type: `The same type as the parameter` * Specifies the default value of the parameter. ### advanced * Type: `Boolean` * Default: `false` * Specifies if the parameter is advanced or not. Advanced parameters are hidden by default and can be shown by selecting a checkbox in the module UI. Advanced parameters should be put at the end of the list, for better UX. ## Advanced Settings ### disabled * Type: `Boolean` * Default: `false` * If set to `true`, the field is disabled by default. ### rpc * Type: `Object` * Adds an extra button to the field which opens an extra form. When the form is submitted, a specified RPC is called and the result is set as a new value of the parameter. When the RPC outputs an array, the options are shown to the user so they can pick which one to map. Available parameters:
ParameterTypeSpecification
labelstringThe text which is displayed on the button.
urlstringThe URL of the RPC to be called. rpc://myRpcName
parametersarrayAn array of parameters for the RPC form. Uses regular parameters syntax.
### semantic * Type: `String` * Specification of a semantic type * Formatted as `type`:`meaning` . Commonly used values: `file:data` and `file:name`, to enable easy mapping of files. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
