Dynamic dropdown selection not populating database

Need help Database
1

Hello everyone,

I’ve been banging my head against this one all day, and would greatly appreciate an assist.

I have three data types:

  1. User
  2. Contact
  3. Note

A user can create a contact, and a note (that is linked to a contact).

In my ‘create a new note’ page/form, I have used a dynamic drop down to help the user select the correct contact. See below.

I’ve set up a work flow to save this as a new ‘note’ data type, however when I go to check that all fields have been saved properly, the contact field (which should be populated by the dynamic drop down selection) is always showing blank. See below.

I can’t seem to fix this! If anyone knows a solution, please do share.

Thanks a mil!

Hey @HBHB :wave:

I am assuming the dropdown’s data type is set as User? User datatype is special and can’t be listed just like that. You have to set up your own privacy settings to display/list users in the system.

Be careful because you might leak your user data in ways that is not desirable. I suggest you to read this page before going further:

Hi thanks for your suggestion!

The drop down data type is not a user, but a ‘contact’ - which is a data type that the user creates themselves (like you adding a new contact into your phone).

I’ve set all data types to privacy so only the creator can see - so I think that’s all covered off.

Weirdly, I’ve now tested if the data links in preview mode, and it is working correctly, but it’s still not showing up in the app data table pictured before.
