Why can't we use API Types in the type of an API Workflow parameter?

API Workflow parameter:

Example with other types:

You actually can, if you manipulate the editor hard enough and ‘force’ API types to be included. It’s basically soft-disabled, likely due to performance concerns.

But if you break the editor and set the parameter correctly with some trickery, it actually works, exactly how you’d expect :slight_smile:

I figured it out, damn it!

I grabbed the “write” call from Bubble, got the API type ID, and changed it in Postman!

Check it out, hehe:

Postman:

API Workflow:

Be very careful with /write because you can brick your editor without being able to restore it from the UI :slight_smile:

No problem. It’s good to be careful :slight_smile:

Is that the call that Buildprint makes to apply the changes correctly?
