How to create a dropdown to show App Data

Hey Guys,

I need help please…I want to know how to accomplish this please. When a user clicks on the dropdown to select the datatype as shown below:

The dropdown should show the Data Type “Specialization” as seen below

And then the Deliverables should be in the buttons.

I am not sure how to accomplish this. All I have is this :face_with_peeking_eye:

Hi there, @Dijest… I’m guessing this post is somewhat related to your other one, but something to keep in mind on this one is you can’t create a dropdown with the names of your data types by accessing the data type names directly. So, you would have to create an option set that has the data type names, and then you would be able to populate the dropdown with the names of your data types by showing the options from the set.

Also, if you will only be updating the deliverable options from the Bubble editor, you would probably be better off putting those options in an option set, too, instead of using a custom data type.

Hope this helps.

Best…
Mike

Me again :grin:

Is this correct? It doesnt seem to show up for me. I honestly dont know what steps to take to setup the dropdown.


You have honestly been so amazingly helpful and patient thank you

The first option set looks fine. For the related option set, you could use an option set that contains all of the options for everything in the first set, and you would create an attribute on the second set that links to the first set.

Then, as each option in the second set is created, you would click the Modify attributes link beside it, and you would select the related option from the first set.

With that setup in place, you could display the selected specialization’s associated options in a repeating group or a multidropdown like this.

Awesome. Ok this makes sense. Let me give it a bash :slight_smile:

Hey Mike,

I seemed to have run into a bit of a problem. Please see screenshots

So I have Setup My OS Specialization Options as you said

But I dont see the “Option” when I want to add it to my custom constraint. I am surely missing something.

Thanks so much.

Since you named your option sets exactly the same as mine, your expression for the filter should be the same as the one I am showing in the screenshot… This OS Specialization's Options's specialization is Dropdown's value (the dropdown is the element you are using to show the options from the OS Specialization option set).

Hey. I am soooo close. I have gotten everything to work excepting now when I select one of the buttons on the list, once they are displayed after dropdown selection(the attributes) its changes all on the row to yellow instead of just the one. Thanks so much :slight_smile:

It’s hard to help without seeing the details of the setup. Share some screenshots of what you are seeing and the setup of the elements that are producing those results.

Yeah absolutely. The screenshots are the button(within the RG) conditions and the loom shows the selection/button click and then all being the selected. The counter and everything else works fine.

It’s working correctly on the previous page, though, right? If so, what is the difference between the two setups?

I followed the exact steps and copied what I did on the previous page. The only difference is that that is pulling the attributes from the option sets 🫣

If it was me, I would likely start troubleshooting by removing all of the conditions on the button and then add only the one that turns the background yellow to see if it works as a standalone condition.
