Option list dropdown import

Question
#1

Any way to populate my option list in my dropdown without entering each one? I have a list of choices of about 400…

You can use a formula binding from a list type variable like this: MAP(myOptionList: {label: item.field, value: item.field}). Replace myOptionList and field with real names from your variable.

Thanks, but I have the names as a csv file. Its not in my app.

Hi, then if you don’t want to have to input it manually, you’ll need to find a way to get it to the app first through an API.

Hi, so if you have “Get collection” configured for your resource in the Data Configurator, you can

  1. first add a data variable to the page from that resource to hold the list of options
  2. then use the formula I provided in the first answer to bind the data variable’s contents to the dropdown’s options list.
