[Robotics] Automation with a variable number of parameters
Similar to the StringUtils functions or WaitAny, is there a way to make an automation take a variable number of parameters?

@KhaledA7 Not that I am aware of. If I want to pass it a list of something or a complexy object, I usually serialize whatever object I am passing in using the JSONUtils and then de-serialize it in the automation (passing the serialized data as a string).
What is your use case where you have an automation that needs an undetermined number of parameters? Could that be accomplished by passing a list (like an array or a DataTable)?

@ThomasSasnett I couldn't find a way to do it through the automation, but creating a custom script and adding the params keyword worked similar to the Concat function in StringUtils.

My use case is retrieving data from a DB dictionary. Takes the table name, and usually a couple to a few keys to retrieve their values. I could use an array or filter the DataTable, but I think this feature would be more usable in this case and being new, I'd like to learn and experiment with new ways to do things.
