I am using the Replicate action which only allows for: 1 - Model 2 - API Key How do I address the other options that are required like aspect\_ratio etc? > **[ideogram-ai/ideogram-v2a-turbo – Run with an API on Replicate](https://replicate.com/ideogram-ai/ideogram-v2a-turbo)** > > Like Ideogram v2 turbo, but now faster and cheaper I have been trying different things in the prompts, but I just keep getting a 1:1 aspect\_ratio. any advice or direction would be appreciated. ---

Hello, Pickaxe Team? I am using Replicate in a project I want to move to Pickaxe, and without some of these controls, it limits the utility of the action. In my case, I don’t mind 1:1, althoug more rectangular would be better…I am more interested to control the pixel size of the output. ---

I think we need to add these as optional fields to the action. I can ask @stephenasuncion about adding other fields to the Replicate action such as aspect ratio. ---

Hey Mike @admin_mike …Is this in progress? Just wondering how the wheels turn. ---

This is already available You just need to add as a new variable like every other action. ---

Good point. However, in this case, things like image proportion and orientation, size, etc. are known issues, which is why they are the inputs to the API, and making users repeatedly create the same variables isn’t the best use of our time, and doesn’t help make the platform more functional. ---

I just wanted the flexibility. You only have to create it once - now that we have the duplicate function, all your actions are covered. ---

I would suggest that WE DO NOT HARD CODE the additional fields. Why? Because Replicate has many models that we can pull on and the fields are different between models. Not all of them are images. The additional fields should be added by the user to suit.
