Drop down and action not working

[Meiye]

I followed the instructions exactly and still not working... it's **bleep** me off.

I want to use the simple drop down function, but instead of showing a drop down list of my column values, it's showing a bunch of datatypes, why? even when I change to other tools like list box it's the same. What did I do wrong?

Setup:

Filter setting: 

Action: selected operand:

Drop down: data types?? why

hi @Meiye 

You need to connect the data stream to the Q input of the dropdown in order to see the list of available fields.

Your current configuration is the left one. You need to change to the right one.

Hi @Meiye,

You'll want to use a technique to push the values into the dropdown, i've gone with the "fields from connected tool" option, meaning you push the values you want to be in the dropdown into column headers.

I've attached my workflow for you to download if needed!

Kind regards,

Jonathan
