Coder parameter form type textarea

data coder_parameter "ssh_key" {
  name         = "ssh_key"
  display_name = "SSH Key"
  description  = "Set the SSH key to use for authentication"
  form_type    = "textarea"
  default      = ""
  mutable      = true
  order        = 5
}

data coder_parameter "ssh_key" {
  name         = "ssh_key"
  display_name = "SSH Key"
  description  = "Set the SSH key to use for authentication"
  form_type    = "textarea"
  default      = ""
  mutable      = true
  order        = 5

@kirby could you help them how to set it up? I guess this is still a WIP and has not been released Maybe we should add a warning on provider docs for the minimum required Coder version Or better an error in the build if someone tries to use a newer feature not available in their Coder server version.

Hello, this is because form_type is only supported by the new workspace create page that supports dynamic parameters. This is not yet released. The terraform provider is ahead of coder in that respect

Okay thankyou for your work hard, I will be patient wait this feature.

Emyrk•5mo ago

Thank you! Keep an eye on the release notes!

Just as a heads up, dynamic parameters is now released in early access on v2.22 behind an unsafe experimental flag. There are some limitations that may cause existing templates to break. A more stable release of the feature will be out soon.

@Stephen i looked in codersdk/deployment.go and see a 'dynamic-parameters' experiment, but if i try, the admin dashboard says it is invalid. if I use *, prebuilds is the only experiment.

Stephen•5mo ago

hey, it’s an unsafe experiment so we skip it with the wildcard. You have to explicitly opt in. I’d probably suggest holding off until the next release to play with it

sharkymark•5mo ago

okay, that is what i thought, but like i said, when i explicitly added dynamic-parameters, the dashboard says it is invalid.

Phorcys•5mo ago

fyi, docs for the early access are available at https://coder.com/docs/admin/templates/extending-templates/parameters#dynamic-parameters but i would still recommend holding off as kirby suggested

sharkymark•5mo ago

for sure. i upgraded mainline to yesterday's, and the unsafe experiment at least shows the wild new workspace form with a bunch of errors, so i'll hold off. oddly, in the admin dashboard, an error message says dynamic-parameters is an invalid experiment, yet it lists it below in the experiments section. when done, this feature sounds beneficial.

matifali•5mo ago

Yeah, I also noticed that valid experiments are showing as invalid on the dogfood instance too
