https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/contexts#inputs-context

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

The section labeled "Example usage of the inputs context in a manually triggered workflow" contains an example of the workflow_dispatch trigger. In this example, the workflow_dispatch event has an input of type number.

However, according to the schema, actual behavior, and syntax documentation, on.workflow_dispatch.inputs.<input-name>.type does not allow for the type number.

Please correct this example, as it has caused us rework and deployment issues.

Thanks for letting us know about this, @sayhiben. Fix is in #24217.

The number input type is allowed for reusable workflows (the workflow_call event) for that context, but not for workflow_dispatch events.
