Hi
When I want to check the value of control within the datacard say dropdown value, is there an option to get the value using "this"? Currently what I do is in the OnChange method of the dropdown, I am getting the value using dropdown.Selected.Value. I'm wondering if there's support for "this" as I'm already in the context of current selected control
Thanks
@rajn, this is a good question. I'd say it might fit better in the Ideas forum.
How many times are you referencing the Dropdown that you'd like it shorter?
There are 2 ideas you can support :
