Hide user input option in sub action in assistant steps

I am building an AI assistant and in that I am using many skill based actions in different steps appropriately as sub-actions. I am able to pass my variables to these skill based actions and receiving the response which I am using in further steps. All this is working well and good.

My only problem or concern is, I am not able to hide the user input when the skill based action is called. I am already passing all the required values and I have to click "Apply" to make the call and then it makes the call. I don't want to show this to the user and feel it is unnecessary.

When building skill flows by chaining different skills, it was very nice and there was an option in the input and output called "Hide this form from the user" toggle. This would hide all the technical stuff of passing parameters from the user. How can I do something similar when I am using my skill based actions in AI assistant. If I am passing the variables already, I don't want the user to see what I am passing and then click Apply to actually execute the skill based action.

Appreciate any help that I could receive on this. Thanks.
