Hi sunil_gaikwad,

Hope this documentation about API parameters could be a reference for you:
https://swagger.io/docs/specification/2-0/describing-parameters/

I will help collect more info on it.

Best regards,
Mabel Mao

There is nothing special about those parameter names. They are just describing that if you want to use a static parameter you follow the "staticParameter" example. If you want to use a dynamic parameter (aka not hard-coded in swagger, but pulled from the other user input) follow the "dynamicParameter" example.

That original article (https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/customapi-how-to-swagger/) also has links to examples of swaggers that use these extensions.

For dynamic values extension the example swagger is here: https://procsi.blob.core.windows.net/blog-images/sampleDynamicSwagger.json

For dynamic schema extension the example swagger is here: https://procsi.blob.core.windows.net/blog-images/sampleDynamicSwagger.json

Hi,
Thanks Samuel,

Look at the following code, I want to populate dynamic drop down list based on operation GetSuppliers(which calls api: Inventory/getsuppliers/{materialname})

suppName:
type: string
description: suppName
x-ms-summary: suppName
title: suppName
x-ms-visibility: ''
x-ms-dynamic-values:
operationId: GetSuppliers
value-path: key-item-output
value-title: key-item-output
parameters:
materialName:
parameter: materialName
Can i say here that materialName as dynamic parameter ?

Regards,
Sunil

I've written a blog post to help clarify the use of x-ms-dynamic-parameters:
