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

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,

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

Vinay

Yes and each group has a user.
