Create VSTS/TFS build task dynamic inputs

Question

Regarding: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-tasks

Is it possible to create a task that acts like the Get sources Workspace mappings, where I can have an [+ Add] button to add as many values as needed?

I've been looking through documentation and sample blogs, but all examples I find have a pretty basic task.json. And I haven't found another task to add that has this functionality.

Thanks!

This cannot be achieve. The "Add" option you see is not for build tasks just as virusstorm mentioned.

For build tasks, you can only specify a fixed number of inputs in the task.json. We are working on adding dictionary input which may help you with this kind of issues.
