what do you think is the best way to pop up a screen
with 4-6 input fields (with some description for each field)
for a user to enter , with a "enter/save" or similar button

same question where next to each field there must be a check box or a sliding toggle to ,as an indication that the field is "active/enabled", for s total of 8-12 input data

all input should go into variables (single or array variables)

Well I think it mostly depends on your definition of 'best'. If you're looking for a compact and relatively easy to implement solution, you could go for the following:

Clear Variable (Index)
Repeat n Times
User Prompt (Text) [Entry]
Increment (Integer) [Index]
Set Variable (Text)
[lv=List][lv=Index][lv=Entry][lv=Index]#
End Loop

To extract from the list:

Set Variable (Integer) [Index] = n
Extract text | Source: [lv=List] | Set: [lv=Ext]
Regex: (?<=[lv=Index]).*(?=[lv=Index]#)

hi,
thanks for your reply
best for me is visually since as I described I would like to pop up
a single screen with these input fields and if possible accompanied by
check boxes or sliding buttons

MD does not offer such UI capabilities
and UItask plugin does not seem up to the task (!)
so I wondered if others have done something similar
and how (with which plugin)

Hey,

I don't have any experience with plugins as I only use the stock macrodroid client.

Macrodroid doesn't support check boxes or sliding buttons but these could be created though certain display systems if you tried hard enough.

Sorry I couldn't help more
