You may not be aware that you can define fields with your Home Assistant Scripts. These fields make it easy to create your own services. And with Home Assistant 2024.3, you can now interact with these scripts from your dashboard.

In this video we will cover everything from what Fields are, How to setup a script to use fields, and how to edit existing scripts that might already be using parameters to use fields.
