I also went for the somewhat hacky approach of feeding the values into the drop down tool via reshaping data values to field names. However I don't believe this to be the best solution, as the workflow has to run in order to populate the dropdown, running the isolated app (having no instance of alteryx open and clicking the yxwz), brought up a blank  drop down. The best solution  would probably be writing the values to a yxdb, the copy and paste values feels a bit too manual.

I made use of the [field] IN  (x1,x2,x3) function which is an underused favourite of mine.

For the app output I rendered a basic html table as .pcxml, just because I use this on a few apps hosted on alteryx server to immediately display a rendered output.

Not sure if i was supposed to have it dynamically pull in unique options for user to choose from so set up some logic for that. Rest was pretty simple.

Great exercise!  I don't do much app development, so stretched me a bit.

The Alteryx gallery is a crazy awesome tool to allow users to create their own data based on how the app was developed!
