Interactive Mode

The assignments perform command accepts a --interactive flag that walks you through performing an assignment action via prompts:

pega assignments perform ASSIGN-1 --interactive

How the wizard works

The wizard runs four steps:

1. Fetches the assignment and lists its available actions.
2. Lets you pick one.
3. Fetches the action's view and prompts for each required field.
4. Shows a summary and asks for confirmation before submitting.

Constraints

--interactive is mutually exclusive with --action, --data, --page-instructions, --attachments, and --dry-run. If stdin is not a TTY the flag is ignored (with a warning on stderr) and the existing non-interactive behavior runs unchanged.

Unsupported field types

For fields whose type the wizard can't map automatically (dropdowns, picklists, page lists, etc.), the prompt label is annotated with the original Pega type and accepts a freeform value. If the action's view shape isn't recognized at all, the wizard exits with INVALID_ARGS and recommends --data.

Piping-friendly

Even in interactive mode, the final PATCH response is the only thing written to stdout — all prompts, summaries, and progress messages go to stderr. This means the output is still safe to pipe:

pega assignments perform ASSIGN-1 --interactive | jq
