TEST : Database dropdown with extra fields in a table

In this quick demo we show how to access other fields your database query returns together with the data for your dropdown field

Which uses a SQL like this to get the values:

select id, name, link from CD_DEMO

In a table we have just 3 rows and we return 3 columns:



values in a form so far (we show "choice" field and we show the "link" property of the "choice" field with "choice.link"). See the SQL we have to get the values for "choice" field

Make a choice

Show the link
