Hey @uğur , 

 

Attaching sample workflow and sample data for your reference , how to use drop down with external source data. 

In the Drop down tool, you need to define 2 columns into file  1st one is Name and 2nd one is Value, and Drop Down tool consider values column for Drop down options.

Take a look, it will solved your issue.

 

Good luck

Hi @uğur ,

 

Solution attached. One thing to be aware is that you need to run your workflow once for the drop-down values appear as it should, so if it happens to have new values for your drop-down in your dataset, this solution will not work.

 

Best,
