How to create a dropdown list (in ConfiForms) which gets its "options/values" from an other table

[Chad Lee]

Hello,

i want to create a dropdown list with "options/values" which are already existing in a split of a table in Confluence.

The dropdown list "options/values" should change whenever the split does.

Best regards,

Chad

Hi @Chad Lee 

Welcome to this community!

Consider using ConfiForms "smart" fields, and Smart drodown specifically

ConfiForms "smart" fields allow you to use data from other forms as a source (options) for fields

Hi Alex,

i want to select a split of the existing table, but i cant, i can only select ConfiForms.

Could you tell me what do you mean by “split” in the context of ConfiForms records?

[Chad Lee]

i want to get the values from the split "Kategorie" of this table

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

Sorry, I still dont get it - "the split "Kategorie" of this table"!? Where do you have a "split Kategorie"

I mean, what is it specifically?

Are you trying to get only specific rows to be used as options or what?

[Chad Lee]

Sorry, my english is not as good as it used to be. I want the options of the table column "Kategorie".

Is this a TableView over another (ConfiForms) form, what you have in the screenshot?

[Chad Lee]

This is the "editor-view" of my table.

It is basically a table in Confluence and i want the options for my dropdownlist.

OK, this is something else - you cannot read it directly from here

But it looks like the data is in the database somewhere - you may consider reading those directly from your database by using ConfiForms database fields

Okay, but how can i set it up?
