Fill a form by selection

Every field is a pick from a list you wrote, or true or false. No character in the form comes from a model.

form.json, a file the script reads

{
  "version": 1,
  "questions": {
    "plan": {
      "choose": "Which plan is the sender on?",
      "options": [
        "free",
        "team",
        "enterprise"
      ]
    },
    "topic": {
      "choose": "What is this about?",
      "options": [
        "billing",
        "access",
        "export"
      ]
    },
    "call": {
      "decide": "Does the sender ask for a call?"
    }
  }
}

Each request gets a plan, a topic, and whether to call back, all from the lists in the form.

cat <<'EOF' |
{"id": "R-1", "text": "We are on the team plan and cannot export to CSV."}
{"id": "R-2", "text": "Our enterprise account was billed twice. Call me today."}
{"id": "R-3", "text": "New here on the free plan. How do I reset my password?"}
EOF
thinkthen annotate form.json \
  --batch 1 \
  --jsonl \
  --field /text |
jq 'del(.text)'

Output

{
  "id": "R-1",
  "plan": "team",
  "topic": "export",
  "call": false
}
{
  "id": "R-2",
  "plan": "enterprise",
  "topic": "billing",
  "call": true
}
{
  "id": "R-3",
  "plan": "free",
  "topic": "access",
  "call": false
}
