Hi, I have been to the sail recipes and can't quite figure out how to do what I want. I would like to have a grid view that has a text item in one column and a dropdown in the other. The items in the text column will come from a process variable and the dropdowns should all be a copy of the same dropdown, basically same choice values and choice labels. A recipe and detailed instructions would be much appreciaated as I have only worked with Appian/sail for about 2 weeks.

Thanks in advance for any help!

First off, you can view code for numerous grid-based SAIL recipes here: forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Recipes.html

A custom-made SAIL Recipe that does what you describe would be:

with(
local!choice_txts: {"Choice One", "Choice Two", "Choice Three"},
a!dashboardLayout(
          firstColumnContents: {
                    a!gridLayout(
                              label:"Grid Label",
                              instructions: "Grid instructions",
                              headerCells: {a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label:"Column 1", align:"CENTER"),a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label:"Column 2", align:"CENTER")},
                              columnConfigs: {a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(width:"DISTRIBUTE"), a!gridLayoutColumnConfig(width:"DISTRIBUTE")},
                              rows: {a!gridRowLayout(contents:{a!textField(value:tostring(local!choice_txts), readOnly:true, disabled:false, align:"CENTER", required:false), a!dropdownField(value:1, choiceLabels:local!choice_txts,choiceValues: {1,2,3})})},
                              selectable: false
                    )
          }
)
)
