passing an arbitrary json

[nbegey]

Hello,

I'm trying to pass a value using inputs but can't make it work.
I've tried a lot of things, but I'm missing something.

The json should be something like {"tag": 5}
so : inputs: '{"tag": 5}'

Can you help me please ?

Thank you !

Got this working. On your downstream repo setup workflow_dispatch to take inputs e.g.

on:
workflow_dispatch:
# Inputs the workflow accepts.
inputs:
testurl:
description: 'Which URL to test with'
default: 'http://abcd.com'
required: true

From your invoker repo yaml using trigger-workflow-and-wait, add this tag

inputs: '{ "testurl" :"http://xyz.com" }'

@nbegey IIRC, GitHub allows only input values as "string", so try quoting the value, despite being JSON valid.
