Hi guys,
Could you please guide me in the right direction?
I have a data type task. I have a data type role and datatype goal.
Now when creating a new task, I have a dropdown, that searches for all roles and for all goals. I can see my roles and goles(both user created, not an option set). In workflow, tasks_role and tasks_goal should be populated with corresponding choice in the dropdown, however, no matter if I set the field types on task object to text or to object(role/goal) I can’t get it to populate.
You’ll need to show some screenshots of DB tables, workflows and debugger to get some help.
I thought may be the issue is with the privacy rules, and knocked all of them out.
Tried to pass the value as text - didn’t work
Please check, with the debugger, what’s the value that Make changes to task
action is trying to use to populate those Task
fields.
I’m talking about the actual value, not the datatype. You must use the debugger to see it.
So it actually sees the name of the role, but still says null
Have you selected an option in the dropdows?
The dropdown’s placeholder does not serve as dropdown’s value.
With the debugger’s Inspect tool, check those dropdowns and verify that they have a value
You aren’t inspecting any dropdown there, but thePopup Task v_4
element.
Either click on the Dropdown element or look for in the right side dropdown, next to the Stop button.
Either way, I believe you haven’t selected any value in the Input Role Dropdown
or Input Goal Dropdown
. That’s why the value does not show up in the action.
You might want to use the Default value option for the dropdowns if you want to have a default selection. The Placeholder option won’t set any value. That’s why it isn’t working.
Yes, you are right. The value’s of Dropdown is empty even when selected
Thank you!!!
I’ve changed both default values and now when editing the task through the same popup, I can set both role and goal, but not when creating task - still returns empty. And if I do auto-binding, then I can create task with roles and goals, but not edit them
Please send screenshots of
- The debugger’s inspector over one of the problematic dropdowns
- The debugger on the specific value the
Create action
is using to populate the record.
It just don’t make sense that you have selected a value in the dropdown and then it does not show up in the workflow.
That’s not the correct Dropdown. It’s named Dropdown Role
, while the Dropdown you are using in the workflow is named Input Role Dropdown
