Essentially...\r\n\r\nNo parameter:\r\n`PS\u003eFunctionName`\r\n\r\nOr, parameter used like a switch where it will utilize a default value\r\n`PS\u003eFunctionName -Parameter`\r\n\r\nOr, parameter used with a specified override to the default value\r\n`PS\u003eFunctionName -Parameter 123`\r\n\r\nThe idea is that I have a need for a function to accept multiple switch style inputs to say enable/disable, use/don't-use a particular feature. To that end a switch parameter works fine. However, many of the parameters are not only a true/false but also a variable, and I want to be able to provide the user a way to override the default value. A second parameter could be specified and required with dynamic parameters, to which the the input might look as follows...\r\n\r\n`PS\u003eFunctionName -Parameter -ParameterOverride 123`\r\n\r\nBut, this is clunky at best and considering the function I'm presently trying to work with has need for 8 parameters of this style it's down right ugly to use from the users perspective.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/chaydock","@type":"Person","name":"chaydock"},"datePublished":"2020-03-11T16:35:19.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":29},"url":"https://github.com/12104/PowerShell/issues/12104"}
