How to fill a dropdown with data from API

Hi,

I'm trying to make a form that lets our employees fill in their monthly travels, where they select a date, starting/end location and some other stuff. I want a dropdown menu containing every country in the world and I'm trying to get the information using this API:

https://skatteverket.entryscape.net/rowstore/dataset/70ccea31-b64c-4bf5-84c7-673f04f32505?%C3%A5r=2022&_limit=500&_offset=0

I added the Webservice connection to my ConfiForms configuration page and the connection is successful. But when creating the Webservice dropdown I can't seem to get the configuration right as the dropdown menu always returns completely empty.

URL added to the config page: https://skatteverket.entryscape.net/rowstore/dataset/70ccea31-b64c-4bf5-84c7-673f04f32505

URL used as "Service URL" in macro config: /dataset/70ccea31-b64c-4bf5-84c7-673f04f32505?land%20eller%20omr%C3%A5de=a&%C3%A5r=2022&_limit=500&_offset=0conf.png

Tried experimenting with root to use, field for label and ID, but nothing works.

Any help is greatly appreciated
