How to pass values to UiPath form drop-down using Dictionary(of String, String).

The method used in pre-23.4 forms doesn’t work for 23.4plus forms.

Passing Drop-down values in UiPath form

Hello community members, season’s greetings*! Saw a couple of posts but nothing seems to be working. I am looking for providing the list to a UiPath form and then generating a dynamic dropdown in form. And when the form elsement is selected from the dropdown, then the value of one field should be set accordingly. Eg, If we pass English, French, Spanish as a list variable into the form via collection then, it should be available in the form as a dropdown There is a text field below drop-dow…

Thx

Did you already found an answer to this?

Unfortunately not.

Did you try just passing the dictionary(of string, string) in without adding _dropdown on the end of the argument?

Just pass it in as Array of string and it works fine.

I was just experimenting with forms. So I simply gave up when there was no solution.

Array of string probably works for dropdown.

But the point of dictionary was - if I recall well - that you can display the key and return/select the associated value.

You can still get the selected value. It just seems that you can’t have a separate label and value but that shouldn’t be a huge problem. Still set up and populate your dictionary, pass yourDict.Keys as the array into the dropdown argument, then after getting the selected value you can easily look up the value based on the selected key.

Sure. It is possible workaround. Thx for hint.
