Trying to understand what happens to the RecordID value in a DropDown Tool. If I select 'BBB' from the DropDown, what happens to the associated Record ID of 2? Is it possible for this value to be passed to the Action tool so that I can then retain the Record ID for later use?
This is actually part of a larger task that I am working on where I need the user to be able to select a record from a table so that the user can then modify various values in the associated row and then update that row in the table.

Hey @LarryRippe this already happens in the app you've created. In your second screenshot, these are just NAME:VALUE pairs that are passed to the dropbox for the sake of displaying an option to the end user, which then act upon the filter when being passed through the Action tool. Within your filter, you'll pull through the entire record where this condition is true and so yes, the RecordID will be present along with any other data that sits within the row:
One thing to note is, when I first downloaded your app, you had all Browse ticked in the Interface Designer (Ctrl+Alt+D). However, if you're only interested in what satisfies the filter condition (i.e. Field1 = BBB) then you'll only want to tick (show the end user) this particular Browse:

Thank your sir. My example was for illustrations purposes. I actually select a value from the DropDown and then use the associated RecordId in the selection. Is that possible?
