handle multiple values from inputs user in vscode tasks

Question

What are the best solutions to receive input from user in inputs vscode on tasks.json then according chosen option to handle multiple values?

Is there any solution like this bellow?

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "inputs": [
        {
            "id": "selectProject",
            "type": "pickString",
            "description": "Some decription",
            "options": 
            [
                { 
                    "label": "project1", 
                    "value" : {"path":"","name":"","link":"","anyOther":""}  // something like this
                } ,
                { 
                    "label": "project2", 
                    "value" : {"path":"","name":"","link":"","anyOther":""}  // something like this
                }
            ]
        }
    ],
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "test on projects",
            "type": "process",
            "command": "echo",
            "args": [
                "${input:selectProject.path}", // handle many info from one chosen option
                "${input:selectProject.name}",
                 "${input:selectProject.link}",
                 "${input:selectProject.anyOther}"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

currently options can receive only one value :(

 "options": 
            [
                { "label": "project1", "value" : "value"  } ,
                { "label": "project2", "value" : "value"  }
            ]

where have you found that pickString supports label-value pairs — rioV8

I don't know. I'm just using it. It works for me on label-value. May be any extension I have? — Dilermando Lima

You can use extension Command Variable v1.22.0.

The command extension.commandvariable.pickStringRemember can remember multiple values for 1 pick.

The syntax of the label-value is a bit different because I did not know pickString supported that.

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Do some project",
      "type": "process",
      "command": "echo",
      "args": [
        "${input:selectProject.path}",
        "${input:selectProject.name}",
        "${input:selectProject.link}",
        "${input:selectProject.anyOther}"
      ],
      "problemMatcher": []
    }
  ],
  "inputs": [
    {
      "id": "selectProject.path",
      "type": "command",
      "command": "extension.commandvariable.pickStringRemember",
      "args": {
        "key": "path",
        "options": [
          ["project1", {"path":"p1","name":"n1","link":"lnk1","anyOther":"any1"}],
          ["project2", {"path":"p2","name":"n2","link":"lnk2","anyOther":"any2"}]
         ],
        "description": "Pick a project"
      }
    },
    {
      "id": "selectProject.name",
      "type": "command",
      "command": "extension.commandvariable.rememberPick",
      "args": { "key": "name" }
    },
    {
      "id": "selectProject.link",
      "type": "command",
      "command": "extension.commandvariable.rememberPick",
      "args": { "key": "link" }
    },
    {
      "id": "selectProject.anyOther",
      "type": "command",
      "command": "extension.commandvariable.rememberPick",
      "args": { "key": "anyOther" }
    }
  ]
}
