Any way to define a base configuration and then it prompts me for server name?

Any way to define a base configuration and then it prompts me for server name?

We have an environment where to RDP into a Windows server we have to go through CyberArk first and this requires a fixed "host' name but under 'Programs' starting a program on the connection and it is here that the actual server to connect to is specified.

Since I'm logging into many different servers on a daily basis, it would be nice to be able to setup a configuration where when run it prompts me for the server name and that value is then replaced in any string in the configuration where something like %SERVER% (or other key) is found.

Currently I find myself 'duplicating' existing entries and then editing the server name and 'Programs' and ts works, but it adds more work since I have to create an entry, log in, then delete the entry when done since my connections are most often one-time connections.

Is this possible? If not, I'll add this to an enhancement request.

Hello,

There's already a ticket opened to our engineering department regarding this.
The ticket number is RDMW-1077.

Thank you for your post by the way!

Hello,

We've added an option in the before open events to prompt for the value of a variable.

The value you enter when prompted will be saved in the variable $PROMPT_VARIABLE$, which you can then use as long as the session in opened.

This feature will be available in version 2020.3.9.0.
