Support for select and its options on actions parameters about business-rules

[gregeinfrank]

@thomasWajs You can give an example of what you're trying to accomplish? You can pass in options to the select type like this:

@select_rule_variable(options=[1,2,3])
def some_number(self):
    return 2

Also - if you found a bug in business-rules-ui, we'd appreciate a pull request for a bug fix!

It's not about select type for rule variables for conditions, it's about select parameter for actions :

@rule_action(params={"target_folder": FIELD_SELECT})
def classify(self, target_folder):
    target_folder.add_document(self.document)

In business-rules-ui, this case were handled in the original project, but not in your fork anymore. Before submitting any pull-request for the UI, it would be necessary to enable this feature in business-rules.

Ah I see. Do you wanna take a stab at implementing it?

[thomasWajs]

I could take the time to contribute, but I'm concerned about the way to pass around these options.

The original business-rules-ui expected a dictionnary in the form

{'fields': [{label: "Email Template", name: "template", fieldType: "select", options: [
    {label: "Welcome Email", name: "welcomeEmail"},
    {label: "Followup Email", name: "followupEmail"},
    ...
]}

Which is not possible anymore since you modified the expected format to

'params': {'template': 'select'}}],

Which is way more restrictive. There's no way to specify distinct name/label, and there is no way to specify the options.
Any thought on reverting back to the original format ?
