I'm working on an Automator app that receives folders. So far it looks like this:
- Set Value of Variable (var1)
- Ask For Text (default answer set to '00000 Sample Job Name')
- Set Value of Variable (var2)
- execute bash script
Right now one issue that is bothering me is that when I run the app, the dialog that appears for 'Ask for text' does not offer '00000 Sample Job Name' as the default, but rather the file path that was passed to the app and assigned to var1.
Why the heck would that be?
Hi, I’m trying to figure out a Keyboard Maestro macro that would 1. Copy the text selected (for example a paragraph from a feature article in Safari) and then 2. Also copy the web link to that article. You would then be able to share this via email or messages.
Automator 2.5, Mac OS X 10.10.5

Enable 'Ignore this action's input' for the 'Ask for Text' action to retain the default value you have specified.
