title: How to get user inputs from Jenkins Active Choice parameter using Formatted HTML
body: <p>I defined parameter of type &quot;<strong>Active Choices Reactive Reference Parameter</strong>&quot; on Freestyle Job</p>
  <p>it returns HTML text input - &lt;input&gt;.
  but after populating this data and press &quot;Build&quot; i can't get the user input of this text field, tried with groovy or shell steps, for the parameter name itself i get empty string.</p>
  <p>it's possible somehow to fetch the value of below field VAPP_ID ? suppose to get &quot;123&quot;</p>

  <p>This is the groovy script of this Formatted HTML:</p>
  <pre><code>vappHtml = '''
  &lt;ul style=&quot;list-style-type: none&quot;&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;
      &lt;label for=&quot;VAPP_ID&quot;&gt;VAPP_ID&lt;/label&gt;
      &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; id=&quot;VAPP_ID&quot; name=&quot;VAPP_ID&quot;&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  '''
  
  return vappHtml 
  </code></pre>
