Batch action external data

I have a batch action that changes the year. Within the js file I hardwired the year with status=2018. Therefore someone needs to change the js file each year.
Is it possible to have an input field popup and ask for a year?
I can do this outside AppGini but not as a batch action.

work around, as the year 2017 was already in the DB it is only a matter of adding one to that to move to the next year. so simple a fool could work it out

Yes, one more case file for the aphorism that “perspective is worth 50 points of IQ†....
thanks for the chuckle as I was self flagellating just yesterday due a similar blind spot having prevented me from seeing the obvious... and your comment just set me right by reminding me of the words of Alan Kay.
Sometimes we truly do need to just step away and let our subconscious tell us what we already know!
