AGSoft Text Input Switch X8

A workflow that serves eight different styles, subjects, or prompt presets usually ends up as a tangled wall of if-this-then-that. AGSoft Text Input Switch X8 is the tidy answer: eight multiline text fields, one integer selector from 1 to 8, one output. It's the pack's biggest fixed text switch, and it turns "I have eight saved prompt presets" into "I have a dial."

How it works

Inputs text1–text8 plus input_selector (INT, 1–8, default 1). The output is whichever string the selector points at, passed through unchanged. Same integer-index design as the X2 and X4 - there's genuinely nothing else to it, which is the appeal: no dropdown, no hidden state, just "index into a list."

Because the selector is a number, it plays perfectly with upstream logic. Drive it from a Loop Integer, a batch index, or a workflow-control integer, and one X8 becomes a rotating preset menu - run eight batches, and each one picks the next style automatically. That "preset menu" framing is the use case the node's description leans on ("many discrete text choices"), and it's the honest one: this is for known options, not for text you compute on the fly.

X8 or the dynamic concatenate?

They sound similar but do opposite jobs. The X8 switch selects one of eight; the AGSoftTextConcatenate joins eight into one. Don't grab the wrong one when you're building a workflow - a common mix-up that produces baffling output until you notice the switch is dropping six of your strings. Also note the fixed X8 has no number_of_inputs widget; the fields are always all eight, so leave unused ones empty and keep the selector within 1–8.

Installing

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/Art-xmaster/comfyui-AGSoft

Restart ComfyUI, or ComfyUI Manager → "comfyui-AGSoft". No models, no extra deps. Same clamping caveat as its siblings: out-of-range selectors clamp to the nearest edge (0 → text1, 9 → text8) instead of erroring, so validate the driving node if your presets are precious.
