Automation Blocks for Premiere Pro – not all blocks available?

Question

I am trying to create an automation in Premiere Pro and I would like to add the user input via a dropdown menu but through an standalone prompt window, not the Automation Blocks inputs panel.

The Automation Blocks manual says I should see a block named "Modal Input Dialog" in the "User Interface and Comments" section that does exactly what I want, however I don't see it in my Automation Blocks block editor panel.

Is this block only available in the After Effects version of Automation Blocks? If so, @Mathias Moehl could it be made clearer in the user manual which blocks are available in which version of the extension?

For reference, I am using Automation Blocks for Premiere Pro v1.1.012.

The Modal Input Dialog is only supported by Automation Blocks for After Effects. Unfortunately, Premiere Pro's ExtendScript engine does not support these kinds of popups (but the basic Alert and Confirm dialogs are working).
