Perspective 8.1.xx Dropdown list - Use VALUE returned

Ignition
1

I have a perspective dropdown box being populated (options parameter) by a nx1 dataset returned from a named query. The list looks fine and the selected “value” displays correctly. However when I try to use the “value” property and assign it or use it in a named query call I get an error of
“…Cannot coerce value ‘set([value])’ into type:…”

below is the code line from the Change Script for the VALUE property that’s trying to use the selected value

dbdata = system.db.runNamedQuery(“Get_Stations_ID_Name”,{currentValue.value})

where the namedQuery paremeter shoud be an INT4

dataset used to populate dropdown list:

In Python, {} around a comma-separated sequence of literals creates a set. system.db.runNamedQuery requires you to pass a dictionary of key: value pairs; e.g.:
dbdata = system.db.runNamedQuery(“Get_Stations_ID_Name”,{"paramName": currentValue.value})
You'll need to use the appropriate parameter name(s) for your named query.

Thanks that was it…semi-newbie to python… :sweat_smile:
