Input Select 2

Description

Input Select 2 is a dropdown control that allows users to choose exactly one value from a predefined list of options.

It is especially useful in scenarios where selections must be clear and constrained — such as choosing a mode, selecting a product type, or assigning a user role.

The dropdown is fully data-driven: options can be dynamically loaded from a JSON file and translated if needed.

Key Features

  • Only one option selectable at a time
  • Fully compatible with connection strings to send the selected value
  • JSON-based data input for flexible configuration
  • Ideal for INT or REAL variables — no structure needed

It is ideal for scenarios where users need to select a value from a set of choices. This control is highly flexible, as it can be populated with data from a JSON file, enabling dynamic, data-driven selections.

Data Source from JSON File

  • Supported datatypes for direct connection (no struct):

    • Can be directly connected to simple types such as INT or REAL.

  • JSON Integration:

    • Two example files should be referenced in the documentation:

      • select2.json: basic version without translation
        [
        {"id": 1, "text": "{{My option 1}}"},
        {"id": 2, "text": "{{My option 2}}"},
        {"id": 3, "text": "{{My option 3}}"}
        ]

      • select3.json: enhanced version with translation support
        [
        {"id": 1, "text": "{{My option 1}}"},
        {"id": 2, "text": "{{My option 2}}"},
        {"id": 3, "text": "{{My option 3}}"}
        ]

  • The JSON file defines the available options and populates the selector accordingly at runtime.
