I’d like to see the ask block be able to present a clickable menu. This would be in place of the type-in box we now have.

I'm suggesting something that is completely inspired by the new Ask menu feature in SNAP!

The SNAP ask block now allows the user to supply a list that it then renders into a list of clickable choices. Since no one likes to type and no one wants to try and spell words correctly and no one what to guess what the heck the program is looking for then this should help many users with their projects.



I’ve written an example project here:
https://snap.berkeley.edu/embed?projectname=New%20Ask%20Block&username=10goto10&editButton=true

You can try this out for yourself. You don’t even need to write a complete SNAP project. Just look at my project, create your own list, and then drop it into an ask block. It’s easy. New users will love this. Please try it and let me know.

And hey everyone, I did add my Ask Menu suggestion to an existing Ask block suggestion but I think mine deserves its own attention and discussion since it is about an ASK menu. Please just keep that in mind before saying it is a dup.

Support, dropdowns would be really helpful. I feel like it's rejected though for some reason.

If you feel it’s rejected, then look at TOLORS.

No, it isn't as far as I am aware of. Well TOLORS doesn't list everything, but I don't see the reason.
