Alternative to Data Service entities

Hello,

Today I got an error that I’ve reached the api call limit from calling from UiPath data service entity as below screenshot

I’m not happy at all with this as I have just started out and my app is not yet even public. The limit is too low which makes it unreliable to store information. Is there an alternative in fetching from an external cloud database?

You can create a process to get the data in bulk and may be load it to the data service in UiPath as well to make it available quick

And clear once done

Cheers

But I’m not querying any values from studio. I have the an entity and 2 columns added as a list source from 2 input control fields of my web app. Whenever I preview the page that contains the list source that is fetched from that entity, it counts it as a call. I wasn’t aware that there are set limitations.

How big are those?

Cant they be stored as variables and used dynamically? Are they growing lists?

Sorry I agree with the limits…they are little low…but want to check if there are any alternatives which might be better

In a way my previous idea also is to restrict the api calls and use process instead to get the required values when you need

Cheers

No the list is fixed. The user can select multiple options from a dropdown. How do I save the list to an app variable?

Example let’s say I have =[“Product 1”, “Product 2”, “Product 3”] and I want to save it to a variable to be used later in another field.

Use set variable event on the page…and set the values as you need functionlist(your values)

Cheers

I’m setting if the product of the dropdown is soap, then it should set the value for the other multiselect dropdown to new but its not working.

I hope you are using the variable referi g to value of deopdown

I am not sure what condition are you referring to though

Then set that variable value to the required list values

Cheers

Let’s suppose I have a single dropdown input control that has the following list values: Product 1, Product 2, Product 3. In a second multiselect dropdown condition with label called Condition, I have a list values of values as such =[“New”, “Used”, “Refurbished”]. I want that if Product 1 is selected, then only “New” will appear, and for instance if Product 2 is selected, then “Used” and “Refurbished” only will appear. Hope I get it more clearly.

oh look dismiss. i got it working. i just had to switch the If/else to be set in the single dropdown instead of the multi.
