Sett Button names based on Dropdown list?

Community Usage questions
1

I have a dropdown menu with 5 Menu options.
{
"Video 1": 0,
"Video 2": 1,
"Video 3": 2,
"Video 4": 3,
"Video 5": 4
}

I also have 5 buttons, that activate something but I want each button to be labelled as one label from the Dropdown menu,

So

  • Button 1 = Video 1
  • Button 2 = Video 2
  • Button 3 = Video 3
  • etc.

The List in the Dropdown menu will be constantly updated i want the buttons to adjust their name based on that dropdown list.

is there a way to do this?

thanks for the support!

Set the button's label to

#{Object.keys(@{switch_1.values})[0]}

Replace [0] with [1] for the second button, etc.

Hi, sorry stupid question again!

now that I can get the name, I can populate the button perfectly, but is there also a way to seperately get the value that is attached to this drop down?

{
"LIVE SIGNAL": -1,
"Video 1": 2,
"Video 2": 3,
"Video 3": 4,
"Video 4": 5
}

so for instance I would like to get the Value 2 for Video 1, Value 3 vor Video 3 and so on in a text box. much like using "#{Object.keys(@{switch_1.values})[0]}" is the a way to get the value instead of the name?

thank you

FOUND IT!

changed .keys to .values

#{Object.values(@{ColScr_Selection_1.values})[0]}

like magic!
