Dropdown simple list with two columns

Posted on by MV-30041934-0

I'm trying to figure out the correct syntax. I'm trying to hard code in a simple list of Descriptions and Values for a dropdown list. The user selects the description, and on save, I grab the value related to that description. I can't seem to find syntax for anything other than a simple one column list. I don't need the user to see the value list, only the descriptions. I'm clearly not using the right words to describe this as I can't find any examples more advanced that the simple list from the documentation.

@dsagfhjj

The record produced on the Selected property of the control is based completely on the Items property record schema.

If your Items property records contain a Description and a Value column, then you can get to them with the following: yourDropdown.Selected.Description and yourDropdown.Selected.Value for each column you are interested in.

If you have more specifics on your scenario or formulas, please share those to describe your issue more.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Re: Dropdown simple list with two columns

My question is how do I format the items property to create the two column list?
If my table is:
Description Value
Annual 1
Semiannual 2
Quarterly 4
Monthly 12
how would I create that list in the items property?

Items property:

Table( {Description: "Annual", Value: 1}, {Description: "Semiannual", Value:2}, {Description: "Quarterly", Value:4}, {Description: "Monthly", Value:12} )
