Dynamic Select
The choices for the Multiple Selection component can be edited using the “Choices” field in its properties. This make the choices static, which means it cannot be changed unless the “Choices” field is edited.
You can make the choices dynamic without having to edit the “Choices” field in the form.
Below is a simple example of using ETL chainset and workflow to create dynamic choices.
First, create an ETL chainset using the ETL module. Add a “JSON Record” ETL step that initialises the elxPublic with the choices for the form. If a blank option is desired, use [] as an option.
Second, create a workflow using the Workflows module with the settings are per screenshot.
In the workflow, select “starting” transition. Set the “OnTransition” field to “Initial” in the “Properties” panel.
Third, create a simple form with a Multiple Selection component with no choices defined. You can also add a HTML component to view the choices. Set up the two components are per the screenshot below.
When the “Choices” field in the Multiple Selection component is not defined (i.e., left blank), it will look for choices in the elxPublic by taking the “Id” field (“demo”) and + “Choices”. In other words, it will look for “demoChoices”.
Lastly, test the form by clicking on the “More Actions” icon at the top row and select the “Run Form” option. In the “Run Form” dialog box, select the workflow created earlier, in this case “DynamicSelect-Form”.
The form is generated in another tab.
You can click on the “Drop-Down List” to select the choices listed in the ETL. The HTML view component also displays the values of the Multiple Selection component.
With this dynamic select, you have different set of choices for the same form instead of creating different forms for different situations.
Do note that this dynamic select method also works with the Checkbox component.
