Allow tools between interface tools and action

Hello,

A lot of time, I would like to manipulate data between my interface tool (let's say a dropdown or a control parameter) and the action tool.

This can be things like parsing (text to column..), regex, multifield, etc...

As of today, we can just write formula and this is really poor.

Best regards,

Simon

A really interesting use case, I’ve not considered it before but you’ve sparked some ideas, such as having a filter tool after a text input where if the entered text doesn’t look like an email address it will not pass into the action tool and instead create an error message.
