How to set custom string values into a drop down list using Set Form Element Items

Currently I am building a dynamic drop down list that changes depending on what values were selected from the previous drop down list. I created an empty array using the "Create Value" tool and I want to add items to this but I can only find example of how to add items from other tools, I want to simply add custom string values to my array like this - ["ACB", "123", "Testing"] and then use the Set Form Element Items tool to add it to the drop down list.

 

Thanks

  You'll need to use the "Set Form Element Items" activity in a subworkflow that runs on selection in the first dropdown.

  First use a 'Create Value' activity to create a new collection and assign it empty square brackets:

  =[]

  Then for each item you want to add to the drop-down list, use an 'Add Item' activity to add a new item to the collection with something similar to this:

  ={"label":"Clip and download","value":"clip"}

  Once you've finished adding all the items, then finish off by adding the collection to your drop-down list with a 'Set Form Element Items' activity.

  Julia van Ravenswaaij, totally possible. You can also initialize an array with values in it to be turned into buttons later e.g.

  =[{label: 'Button #1', value: 1}, {label: 'Button #2', value: 2}]

  I find myself using the Array.map() method frequently to generate collections for form element items.

  If you want to add many items, you can use a 'Create Value' activity to create an entire collection at once: 

  =[
  {"label":"ACB","value":"ACB"},
  {"label":"123","value":"123"},
  {"label":"Testing","value":"Testing"}
  ]
