Input from previous skill should be readonly in the next skill

In the current version, the inputs sent by the previous skill can be modified in the next skill. For example, my "skill-1" is doing a validation and the validations results are sent to "skill-2" (Send Email skill) as the email body. However, at the time of execution, the email body can be updated and sent.


This will give an option for the person who is executing to alter the email text. (A rejection message can be modified as "Approved"

    Our workflow capability is eventually to become the one way to sequence skills of all kinds, the ability to make fields read-only is already available there.

    It does not support the skill flow pattern yet but you can vote / comment on idea LSABER-I-280 which we are planning on. Any other ideas to facilitate your needs in workflow are welcome!
