New Features<\/h2>\n
These new features provide more flexibility and control over your PowerShell help.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Parameter – Accepted Values<\/h3>\n
You can now edit, add and remove accepted values for parameters:<\/p>\n
When generating a help file, PowerShell HelpWriter will load the accepted values list using the Validation Set values, or in the case of an enumerator (Enum), it will use the enumerator values.<\/p>\n The accepted values are now included in the exported HTML<\/strong> and Markdown<\/strong>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Note: If you use PowerShell Studio\u2019s New Module from Help File<\/strong> feature, it will automatically create a ValidationSet using the accepted values.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can specify if a parameter\u2019s value is required. In other words, if you use the parameter you must define a value.<\/p>\n Value Required<\/strong> is not the same as a required parameter. According to Microsoft\u2019s documentation:<\/p>\n \u201cThe Required attribute of a parameter value is different from the Required attribute of a parameter.<\/p>\n The required attribute of a parameter indicates whether the parameter (and its value) must be included when invoking the cmdlet. In contrast, the required attribute of a parameter value is used only when the parameter is included in the command. It indicates whether that particular value must be used with the parameter.<\/p>\n Typically, parameter values that are placeholders are required and parameter values that are literal are not required, because they are one of several values that might be used with the parameter.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Source: https:\/\/msdn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/library\/bb525442(v=vs.85).aspx<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We added help tooltips explaining the purpose of each field in the designer\u2019s parameter view.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PowerShell HelpWriter will now change the color of the text to denote errors and warnings in the Output Panel, making important messages stand out.<\/p>\n Validate errors are also colored:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Please continue providing your feedback. Many of the new features included in the service builds are suggestions from users like you.
