Creating a Drop Down

[fimler]

I am trying to create a simple drop down and I just cant seem to get it to work.  Ive reviewed the training, sample workflows and other posts.  Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Hi @fimler 

Are you running it as an app?

You need to click on the magic wand,right next to the Run Button to make the app work.

I did - the value in the filter isnt changing.

Ok I see the problem.

Here:

It needs to be done this way.

OH:OH
MI:MI
CA:CA
MO:MO
FL:FL

Name is the label you want to display in the drop down. Value is the real value being used to replace or update something in your app.

@fimler 

Remember that always when you want to use a manually set drop down you need to pair up Name and Value.

Name:Value format.

@Thableaus

Tried that:

Ohio:OH
Michigan:MI
California:CA
Missouri:MO
Florida:FL

And it is still not working.  I even tried putting the value in quotes and that returns an error "an operator must be between operands".

I really appreciate your help.

Could you export your workflow and send it?

Click on options > Export Workflow.

That way the database comes together.

Now there's no way this will not work!

Click on Interface Designer - Configuration Tab

Check the Browse Tool as an Output.

See picture below:

Run the App and you will click on Show Output Log to see the final results.

Thanks, that worked.  I guess I was expecting the value to be passed to and change the filter and be seen in the browse attached to the true output.  Thank you for your help.  Much appreciated.
