There are loads of times when I want to create a simple randomized array of strings: greetings on a dashboard, for instance, or small variations in responses to a conversational trigger. However, every time, I have to make a template, define an array with the options, and pipe that into a random function. Which requires me to remember the syntax for all that. What a drag.
Why the heck* isn’t there a “Random List” helper I could create in the UI? I could add, delete, and edit entries—entries which could include Jinja2 templates. Adding new variations on conversation responses would be easier: I’d just add them to the graphical list editor. My non-techie family members could do it too. The state of the list would be a random entry.
*: I’m just playing with the theme of this forum. I’m not actually indignant.
