Adding Select Input as a custom column in datagrid

I have added a custom column for my datagrid. I went to the layout on the left, and added a Select input to the column. I configured the select input with options, initial value, everything it needs. When I preview, and try to edit that column of data, the dropdown doesn’t open, and it just wants me to type into the field? I thought the whole idea was that the custom field would allow the select dropdown to work in place of the text field? What am I doing wrong, or is this a bug?


Thanks

Hi Nate :waving_hand:

I tried replicating your issue and on my end the custom column + select element are working normally:

You might have changed a specific setting on your select element when customizing it and its generating this issue.

Ok, I will try again from the beginning and see if I can get it working properly. Thanks

Ok, upon further investigation, the Select works, but Select (Advanced) does not work, and that was what I was trying to use.

I am having a different issue now though. I have the standard Select working, and filled with the proper initial value. However, when I preview, and make a change, it does not trigger the On Cell Value Changed workflow to send the data back to Airtable. The built in inputs when editable, require me to hit enter to get them to fire the workflow, but there is no option to do that with the Select input, so it never fires?

Hi Nate.

the action “init value change” gets triggered when the initial value is bound to a variable and you change that variable.
If you want to execute a workflow when the user modifies the select choice and changes the value you need to use the “on change trigger”.

Ok, so I just need to treat it as it’s own element like if it was a standalone select input, not in the datagrid then? I know how to do that, I just figured that it may be tied in with the datagrid row changed, etc. I was trying to get the value from the datagrid workflow triggers, not a select input workflow. Am I correct on my interpretation of this? Thanks
