Collecting user input was created by Neil
I have a package which I use to process user emails
The package parses "From email" and depending o the value performs data transformation
It is not always possible to do it correctly because email may have multiple "Froms" (When the user forwards it)
So I have created another package where I set  "From email" manually using the set variable package action.
So I was wondering if it is possible to show the user the input box and ask the user to enter the value.
Similar to "Ask question package action" but with the input text

Hello Neil. Unless I am misinterpreting your query and BTW, I think the new enhancement from the ETL team is worthwhile I am curious if you had considered using a regular expression in the mail filter FROM field to cater for multiple from domains which could be extended to handle your own end-user domain?

something like...
Code:
(?i)((^[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+@domain1\.com$|^[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+@domain2\.com$|^[a-zA-Z0-9\.\-]+@our-domain\.com$))

Something like this will process a message if it comes from 

domain1.com or
domain2.com or
our-domain.com

You may also need to include an enhanced filter to manage the "FW:" in the subject line but that depends on your specific processing needs.

Sorry for hijacking the post but was curious as this sounded very similar to what we had to cater for.

Regards
Bruce

Thank you for your suggestion but in our case it is not going to work

The logic is based on from domain inside the email text.

It works fine most of the time

A very small number of emails are forwarded multiple times.

"User 1"  forwards the Email to "User 2" and "User 2" forwards the Email to "User 3"

For User 1 domain we have Logic 1
For User 2 domain we have Logic 2
For User 3 domain we have Logic 3

But when we have multiple domains inside the email text it is not possible to choose which logic to use automatically
