hi nasirs4970 : i am facing the same error "showcase the selected identifier in the picker field". In your selectedLabels code what is local!QuestionDetails object and how this object is having value?

Hi swapnar6405,

As Stefan explained, your final data subset does not define the identifiers which the picker field requires. and also after defining the Identifier as per your code, it will showcase the selected identifier in the picker field,
you need to get the name based on the selected identifier. you can achieve it with the help of the index and the whercontain functions
this is an SS of a picker field.

you can also go through this Documentation:-docs.appian.com/.../recipe-configure-an-array-picker-with-a-show-all-option.html

This might be because your final datasubset does not define the identifiers which the picker field requires.

Interface with Picker Field Custom

a!localVariables(
local!pickedName,
{
a!pickerFieldCustom(
label: "Name",
maxSelections: 1,
suggestFunction: rule!TestExpression(search: _),
selectedLabels: if(isnull(local!pickedName), {}, index(local!pickedName, "label", {})),
value: local!pickedName,
saveInto: a!save(local!pickedName, fv!selection)
)
}
)

Below is a template assuming you're querying an entity for names.

a!localVariables(
local!data: a!queryEntity(
entity: cons!Employee,
query: a!query(
logicalExpression: a!queryLogicalExpression(
operator: "AND",
filters: {
a!queryFilter(
field: "name",
operator: "includes",
value: ri!search
)
},
ignoreFiltersWithEmptyValues: true
),
pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1, batchSize: 10)
),
fetchTotalCount: false
).data,
map(
a!forEach(
items: local!data,
expression: {
id: fv!item.id,
label: fv!item.name
}
)
)
)
