a script that generates a UI box that stays open but you can still move items on the board

Question

So I'm making a script that generates shapes based on user input. The user is asked for the type of shape, the size and the text that is placed in the middle. Basically its a tool for planning out a room. However it would be useful for the UI box that asks for the user's input to stay open while the user can adjust the shapes generated on the artboard. So if you forget something you don't have to constantly load the script to add more items and can adjust - add an item - and adjust again as you see fit.

Any way to make a UI box that stays open but allows the user to still work with the items already on the page?

Hi @rileym82629418, you can use either a ScriptUI "palette" type window, or make a CEP Extension. Have a look into both of those. The ScriptUI approach would be quicker to get up and running, but the CEP extension route would probably be more likely to be able to do what you want, depending on specifics.
