Convert [group: xxx] to a text value with togroup

office 2300, office 2450, office 2800  these are group names  ?

Yes and each group has a user.

what value you need to save in local!filter.type ?

Hi,

You need Group Name by GroupId, try below code,

a!dropdownField(
  label: "OFFICE",
  placeholderLabel: "Selection",
    choicelabels: {
        apply(
          group(_,"groupName"),
          tointeger(cons!CP_typeOffice)
        )
        
    },
    choicevalues: {
     tointeger(cons!CP_typeOffice)
    },
 value: local!filter.type,
 saveInto: local!filter.type
),

Thanks

It worked! 

Thanks so much for your answer!!

Just FYI, unless you're using a very old version of Appian (ie pre ~17.2), you should definitely use a!forEach() and not apply(), both for code clarity as well as to ensure you're more future-proof.

a!dropdownField(
  label: "OFFICE",
  placeholderLabel: "Selection",
    choicelabels: {
      a!forEach(
        cons!CP_typeOffice,
        group(fv!item, "groupName") /* you can also wrap fv!item in tointeger() if you're worried but it shouldn't be needed */
      ) 
    },
    choicevalues: {
      tointeger(cons!CP_typeOffice)
    },
  value: local!filter.type,
  saveInto: local!filter.type
)

Hi Mike,

I checked both the performance (foreach and apply) for the same logic,

apply is much faster than foreach,

do you think apply function will deprecate after sometime?

Thanks
