Using an array to create a dynamic dropdown list?

JGoode — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 13:59:08 GMT

Hello,

is it possible to use an array to create a list of dropdown options that can be changed on the fly?

So instead of

values "example" option1, option2... etc

we could have

values "example" option_array[]

which would automatically fill the list with the array values.

Thanks

What's the type of the parameter? If it's numerical, you could use parameter buffer (put and get). If it's a string, you'll have to use values{2} and create a parameter for the numerical representation of the value, which is a good idea anyways.

Edit: never mind, see @Xandros' solution below.
