i'm not getting the "inputs" options when I select my git tab from the "Build Tag" option but works fine when I use the "Build Branch" option

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Expected results

In codemagic.yaml file, i have below inputs :

inputs:
      environment_type:
        description: Either UAT or PROD environment to use
        type: choice
        options: ["uat", "prod"]
        default: uat
      test_controls:
        description: Enables Testing controls (true for UAT)
        type: boolean
        default: false

It should show the "input" options in the codemagic ui in the "Build Tag" tab when i select any tag. But its not showing up. It shows up only when I try to build from a branch.

Actual results

Not showing the "input" options in the codemagic ui in the "Build Tag" tab when i select any tag.

Build id (optional)

Hello @nateshmbhat, thank you for reporting this!
It seems that build inputs are not yet supported for tag builds in Codemagic. We’ll make sure to add this capability in a future update. Although I don’t have an ETA yet, this task is now in our backlog

[dtrdic]

@nateshmbhat just an update that this feature is in development and will be available this week

[dtrdic]

hi @nateshmbhat, build inputs in tag builds are now supported

[nateshmbhat]

Thanks so much for the quick action 🙏🏻
Great! 🌟 🌺
