Cannot coerce value into type: class java.lang.Byte

Hi there,

I'm currently running into an issue when trying to pull the results of a query in a script.

Full back story: What i'm trying to do is I have a dropdown component {options} with a named query bound to it.

I then have a change script on the dropdown component {Value} that will take the results selected Id in the dropdown and pull all the data for that project. which I want to display the results to a text field component so that I can edit the entries in the DB and then save them.

In this change script it calls another query that pulls all the fields for the selected Id
Currently I just want to print the results to the console but am running into this error:

13:41:07.965 [AWT-EventQueue-0] ERROR com.inductiveautomation.ignition.client.util.gui.ErrorUtil - Error running property change script on Dropdown.props.value: Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is the change script:

def valueChanged(self, previousValue, currentValue, origin, missedEvents):
   # Check if the dropdown value is not None and not the same as previous to avoid unnecessary queries
    if currentValue != previousValue and currentValue is not None:
        # Define parameters for your named query
        params = {"selectedProjectId": currentValue}
        
        # Run the named query to get project details
        projectDetails = system.db.runNamedQuery("GetProjectDetails", params)
        
        results = system.dataset(projectDetails)
        
        # Print the query results
        print(results)

When I test this query the results are returned as expected but when I use the dropdown component to try the functionality this is when I get the error.

Please let me know if anymore information is needed and thank you for any help offered.

The problem is here (with linebreaks for legibility):

Cannot coerce value '[1, 
                      Good_Unspecified, 
                      Thu Mar 21 13:41:07 PDT 2024 (1711053667781)
]' into type: class java.lang.Byte

currentValue is returning a "qualified value" with [value, quality, timestamp]. Your query is just expecting the value part of that.

Try,
params = {"selectedProjectId": currentValue.value}
