trying to figure out how to populate a dropdown with folder names. I have a folder that contains 30 folders each of which is named to a part number. I would like to create a dropdown that allows me to select any of the 30 part numbers so I can set a tag to the selected part number. any ideas? thank you.
Are these tag folders? Is this Perspective, or Vision? Which 30? What have you tried already? Does it need to be dynamic, or can you hardcode it in once?
They are tag folders on perspective. The process would need to be dynamic. I am fairly new to Ignition, so I have not tried anything that was very successful.
What is the original problem you are trying to solve? There may be a much better way of configuring your project.
You can use system.tag.browse and set the tagType filter to Folder. The docs have some good examples that can get you pointed in the correct direction.
