Task Assignment Collector

Build a utility module for creating an interactive task assignment interface in Slack messages. The module should allow users to select multiple team members from a predefined list to assign them to a task.

Requirements

Input Structure

The module should accept:

• A list of team member options, where each option has:
  • A display label (the team member's name)
  • A unique identifier value
  • Optional description text
• An optional list of pre-selected team members (by their identifier values)
• A unique action identifier for tracking interactions
• Optional confirmation prompt configuration

Output Structure

The module should return a properly typed interactive element structure that:

• Allows multiple selections from the team member list
• Pre-selects any initially assigned team members
• Triggers a confirmation dialog before finalizing the selection (if confirmation is configured)
• Can receive focus when the interface loads (if specified)
• Includes all necessary type information for Slack's Block Kit framework

Behavior

• All team member options must be provided upfront (no dynamic loading)
• Users can select zero or more team members
• Pre-selected team members should be visually indicated in the interface
• The action identifier must be included for event tracking

Test Cases

• It creates a basic team member selector with three options and no pre-selection @test
• It creates a selector with two pre-selected team members from a list of five @test
• It creates a selector with a confirmation dialog that asks "Assign these members to the task?" @test
• It creates a focused selector that receives input focus on load @test
