SUBMIT YOUR IDEAI 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.
Well I definitely did this the hard way!
