Option to run a Multiple Action Runbook Manually with just one click instead of clicking on "run next" and "Run" Multiple Times

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently while manually running the Runbook the end user/Operator/NOC has to fill in the required parameters for the run book to run and run each action manually. Let's say the Runbook has 10 Action steps, the user has to click on 20 buttons, 10 "Run next" buttons and 10 "Run" buttons despite providing all the required parameter inputs before starting the runbook. Having a single button to run all these actions one after the other automatically once it's initiated manually by the NOC/Operator. This change will make this Completely Manual runbook as a semi Automated one where the user will manually execute the runbook but doesn't have to necessarily overlook each and every step/Action.
