I have below json output
[
{
"moduelName": "test module",
"instructorinfo": [
{
"instructorName": "test test",
"instructorId": "1931dec0-c1ba-ee11-9078-6045bdd0ed08"
}
]
},
{
"moduelName": "test module1",
"instructorinfo": [
{
"instructorName": "test test",
"instructorId": "1931dec0-c1ba-ee11-9078-6045bdd0ed08"
},
{
"instructorName": "test test",
"instructorId": "1931dec0-c1ba-ee11-9078-6045bdd0ed08"
}
]
}
]
My requirement is On the gallery two control are there label and dropdown. On label I want to show each module name and on the dropdown I want to show the associate instructor name . for example for first module it will show the "test module" and only 1 instructor in dropdown and for other module it will show the "test module1" and 2 instructor in dropdown.

Re: Bind complex json to label and dropdown of gallery in canvas app.

Hi @Shubham_Koolwal ,

In a test I set your JSON string as the text in a Text Input control (TextInput1) so I could reference it.

Then I added a gallery and set its' Items property to:

Table(ParseJSON(TextInput1.Text))

Inside the gallery, I used the below for the Text property of a label to display the module:

Text(ThisItem.Value.moduelName)

And finally for the dropdown I set its' Items property to:

ForAll(ThisItem.Value.instructorinfo,{instructorName: Text(ThisRecord.instructorName), instructorId: Text(ThisRecord.instructorId)})

This gave me the below result:
