Why

A Macro with two nested Captures still opened two one-page forms in sequence. The macro collector only read top-level UserScript quickadd.inputs, and each nested execute() re-entered preflight. #1698 asked for those this-level captures on one form, using the nested Macro the author already has as the folder.

Scope

  • collectChoiceRequirements for a Macro walks this-level NestedChoice/Choice Template and Capture members plus UserScript inputs (buildFormRoster / classifyStep).
  • Nested Macro is deferred (nestedMacroGroup). Conditional then/else is not entered (conditionalBranch).
  • UserScript and AIAssistant set opacity. Later Template/Capture members defer (afterOpaqueStep). Later script quickadd.inputs still hoist.
  • Capture-target requirement ids are captureTargetKeyFor(choiceId) (__qa.captureTargetFilePath.). CaptureChoiceEngine reads scoped first, then the unscoped alias only when this run has a single capture target.
  • collectChoiceRequirements stamps sibling scoped keys onto the shared variables map for two-target macros, so a direct execute path cannot send both folder captures to one unscoped file.
  • Duplicate fields across members AND optionality, OR pathContext, and OR runtimeOnly, so a discovery Template's {{VALUE}} title stays off the form even if a Capture collected that id first.
  • getUnresolvedRequirements lets the unscoped CLI flag satisfy a collection only when that pass has exactly one capture-target field.
  • OnePageInputModal renders h3.qa-onepage-section when a form has two or more groups.
  • quickadd:check adds deferred for Macro choices.
  • Docs: docs/src/content/docs/docs/Advanced/onePageInputs.md.

Out of scope: new CommandType, executionDepth skip, collector return-type change, executor/MacroChoiceEngine changes, MacroBuilder override row (the field already exists on nested choice Configure).

Tradeoffs

  • A UserScript between two sibling captures splits the later capture onto its own form. That matches today's prompt count for that layout and avoids discarding answers a script later overwrites. Put post-script captures in a nested Macro to keep them on one page.
  • quickadd:check for a lone Capture now prints the scoped missing flag. value-__qa.captureTargetFilePath still satisfies that one field.

Blast Radius

Anyone who runs a Macro with nested Template/Capture members and one-page input on will see one form instead of a queue. Automation that parsed the unscoped capture-target flag from missingFlags needs the scoped id for macros with two folder/tag captures. Cancel still aborts the whole run. choiceExecutor.ts is unchanged.

Testing / validation

  • pnpm run test: 5038 passed, 37 skipped.
  • Focused collector/key tests cover two scoped capture-target ids, unscoped-does-not-satisfy-both, engine-time sibling-key isolation, AND-optionality merge, and runtimeOnly OR across Capture/Template member order.
  • pnpm run lint: green on this revision.
  • Review threads on the unscoped engine fallback, first-wins optionality, and runtimeOnly merge are fixed in da2004f5 and 070800f9.
  • Obsidian 1.13.7 GUI: Macro Two captures with nested folder Captures opened one Provide inputs modal with Projects dump and Inbox dump sections. Submit wrote both captures with no second popup.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Macro one-page forms now organize inputs into labeled sections.
    • Nested choices, templates, captures, and script inputs are collected more accurately.
    • Multiple capture destinations in one macro are supported independently.
    • quickadd:check now reports inputs deferred for later processing.
  • Bug Fixes
    • One-page forms now respect “Never” input overrides and handle conditional or deferred steps correctly.
    • Previously excluded unresolved template inputs can now be requested.
  • Documentation
    • Updated guidance for macro input collection, deferred steps, and capture-target variables.

…o form

A Macro's one-page preflight now walks this-level NestedChoice and Choice
commands and puts their Template/Capture inputs on one form. Nested macros
stay a separate page. Conditional branches are not entered. A UserScript or
AI command defers later Template/Capture members while still hoisting
declared quickadd.inputs.

Capture-target fields are scoped by choice id so two folder captures cannot
share __qa.captureTargetFilePath. The unscoped CLI flag still satisfies a
collection that has exactly one capture-target field.

Closes #1698

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Macro preflight now builds grouped one-page input rosters for eligible macro members. It scopes capture-target variables by choice ID, defers unsupported steps, renders group headings, updates discovery prompting, and exposes deferred steps through quickadd:check.

Changes

One-page macro inputs

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scoped capture-target contract
src/preflight/captureTargetKey.ts, src/engine/CaptureChoiceEngine.ts, src/preflight/collectChoiceRequirements.ts, src/preflight/captureTargetKey.test.ts, docs/src/content/docs/docs/Advanced/onePageInputs.md
Capture-target fields now use choice-scoped keys. The unscoped alias remains valid for one capture target.
Macro-step classification and roster
src/preflight/macroCommandRole.ts, src/preflight/macroFormRoster.ts, src/preflight/collectChoiceRequirements.ts, src/preflight/macroCommandRole.test.ts, src/preflight/macroFormRoster.test.ts, src/preflight/collectChoiceRequirements.test.ts
Macro commands are classified as collectible, opaque, interactive, nested, or deferred. The roster collects eligible choices and script inputs without entering conditional branches or flattening nested Macros.
Collection and grouped modal implementation
src/preflight/collectChoiceRequirements.ts, src/preflight/RequirementCollector.ts, src/preflight/OnePageInputModal.ts, src/preflight/OnePageInputModal.test.ts, src/preflight/runOnePagePreflight.ts, src/styles.css
Collection preserves group metadata and deduplicates fields. The modal renders headings for multiple groups and prompts unresolved non-runtime-only requirements.
CLI deferred-step reporting
src/cli/registerQuickAddCliHandlers.ts, src/cli/registerQuickAddCliHandlers.test.ts, src/cli/registerQuickAddCliHandlers.audit-cli-uri.test.ts
quickadd:check now includes deferred macro steps for Macro choices and omits the field for other choice types.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 07080

The PR expands one-page macro preflight collection for nested Template and Capture fields without a supported current-head correctness or merge-blocking risk; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Move FieldGroup to the shared types layer.

FieldGroup is imported by src/preflight/macroFormRoster.ts and src/preflight/OnePageInputModal.ts. Define it under src/types and import it from that module. This keeps the shared contract independent from RequirementCollector.

As per coding guidelines, “shared types under types.”

readPreselectedCaptureTarget must only be allowed when exactly one scoped

preserve the alias for the single-target case, and return no legacy preselection
for multiple targets. Add regression coverage for direct Macro execution and CLI
behavior with two targets.

Comment thread src/preflight/captureTargetKey.ts
Two folder captures in one macro no longer share the unscoped
__qa.captureTargetFilePath alias at engine time. Duplicate VALUE
fields across members now AND optionality the same way a single
collector already does.

A discovery Template's {{VALUE}} title must stay off the one-page form
even when an earlier Capture already collected the same id.
