A configured Notify Me notification has a Reject-type action, and it would be useful to show a pop-up letting the user pick a rejection reason (and optionally add a description) instead of always sending a static reason value — is that possible?

Answer

No — collecting additional input data as part of an action (like a rejection reason) is only supported for Absence Request notifications specifically, because feeding that extra data back into the action handler adds significant complexity that configured notifications generally aren't built for; configured notifications otherwise only support simple, no-input actions. Before working around this, it's worth reconsidering the use case — for example, whether the extra reasoning data is genuinely needed on a small mobile screen, or whether you can instead define separate notification types for different scenarios so the user picks between two simple actions rather than typing a reason.
