Hey all,
I am trying to set up an Alteryx App with a dropdown menu which contains special characters.
So far I ve been first getting all the desired dropdown selections as a header and in a second step used these headers as an input for the dropdown menu. As I understand, the problem now is that Alteryx headers have certain imitations regarding the allowed characters. Can you maybe help me with some ideas how I would be able to get dropdown selections with special characters into the UI?
Overall Workflow
1. Dynamically created descriptions
2. Descriptions to headers
3. Dropdown UI
Maybe there is a way to allow special characters in headers or is there also another way to get strings as a selection for the dropdown?
Thank you for the help!
Julian
Hi @JulianS1
See @DavidP 's blog on preserving the headers with the Transpose tool.
