Adding arguments for Code Actions
You can add function arguments to make code actions reusable. Additionally, you can implement multiple arguments for a single cloud action by adding parameters and values for the same action.

Rules for adding the arguments
Each rule, along with its description, is given below:
| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
| Data type | A code action argument should always be a string. |
| Argument names | Argument names should be validated. An argument name must comply with JavaScript naming. |
| Number of Arguments | The maximum number of arguments is 30. |
| Title | The title should be unique for each Reply Action. The maximum length of the title is 30 characters. |
| Value Limit | The Maximum limit for the value is 5000. The payload.args object is {} (empty) by default. This prevents additional null checks. |

Example

When you configure a Code Action argument, it is available on execution inside the code action within the payload.args object.
