Hello community members,
I seek you help for building a custom tool in Alteryx using the Alteryx Python SDK functionality. In my GUI HTML file I have 2 drop down menus to select 2 different fields from a single input. I will be using both these fields to perform an operation in the ii_push_record method in the Incoming Interface class of my python code.
I declared two dropdown interface tools in GUI HTML file in the following way:
<div>
<label>XMSG("Select Field1")</label>
<ayx data-ui-props="{type: 'DropDown'}" data-item-props ="{dataName: 'FieldSelect',dataType: 'FieldSelector',anchorIndex:'0',connectionIndex:'0'}"></ayx>
<\div>
<div>
<label>XMSG("Select Field2")</label>
<ayx data-ui-props="{type: 'DropDown'}" data-item-props ="{dataName: 'FieldSelect',dataType: 'FieldSelector',anchorIndex:'0',connectionIndex:'0'}"></ayx>
<\div>
How do I call these 2 fields in the ii_push_records method? The default method is to copy the incoming records as "in_record", but how do I separate both the fields I need?
Default Python code in ii_push_records method:
def ii_push_record(self, in_record: object) -> bool:
# Copy the data from the incoming record into the outgoing record.
self.record_creator.reset()
self.record_copier.copy(self.record_creator, in_record)
if self.parent.input_field.get_as_string(in_record) is not None:
field1 = self.parent.input_field.get_as_string(in_record)
How do I parse field2?
