Perspective Form Component Dropdown.value

Ignition

I am trying to access the selection from another dropdown menu on the form. I am able to do this if I'm not using the form component. My question is how do I access the selection from a dropdown while using the form component?

I don't see a selectedValue. I'm wondering if I have to use the id under data.

This is a dropdown inside of the Form component.

Huh. Looks like they don't expose the selected value in the properties, at least according to the manual:

Looks like you'll have to use the widget ids and the form's data property, likey in formComponent.data['widgetId'] fashion.

Seems odd to me. I wanted to use a named query to show results in a second dropdown based off the selection of another dropdown. I can't use my previous script that worked due to not knowing what is currently selected.

Ros, I explored the Form component for a few minutes and I now understand your original post. My suggestions were irrelevant so I've deleted them.

Is this what you're looking for?

I was able to get my desired effect using a change script. I am curious how you were able to add widgets in the data section. Mine shows the id name I gave to each widget.

I didn't. I just switched into Preview mode and filled in the form. The data.widget entries then appear.

Deleting those props or data.widget resets the components

Thank you, I was looking for the same.
