Forge: how to use custom-ui as macro config

[PhilipFeldmann]

Is there a way to use custom-ui as macro config like it’s possible with connect (editor → url) ?

Based on this thread, it’s not possible:

How to use Macro Configuration with Custom UI apps in Forge

I see, I think I understand the use case a bit better now. Sounds like a Custom UI configuration screen is necessary. Perhaps you could also try a Select field in UI kit macro config, if you haven’t already considered that. Could be tricky though, especially if there are many filters to choose from.

Hopefully this will be implemented at some point, though - we can’t migrate our app to Forge without it. (Our macro is an “embed” of content from our service, and we need to display a file picker iframe when creating a macro.)
