Hey there, I hope you’re doing fine. I’d like to dynamically change the value of a select control by clicking on a button. Any idea of how I can do so ? Many thanks

Hello Adrien, What do you want to update the control value from and to? You could probably use a “table” with one row and one cell that you reference as if it were a control, then use a button to update that row as you normally would. Does that make sense? Thanks, Bobby

Hey Bobby, Thanks for your answer. This is actually what I’m doing, but I was wondering if there were not a more fancy solution. I just want to change the value of a select control without the use of a temporary cell. Something like [name_of_select_control].setValue(“New Value”) A little more c…

Hello Adrien, Take a look at this, it’s not perfect but it allows a bit more fluidity by combining the “hidden” variable option and the full range of values, of course, it is problematic, because if they change the control themselves, it will no longer dynamically update via button. https://coda.i…

And funnily enough - here I am 4 months on researching this again, and I see my own post. I’ve got yet another use case for this where I’ll have to resort to a 1x1 table.

I would also love to have this function available!

I’m posting this as a solution to the original question, but will also add this topic to our notes for feature wants.

Hello, any update on this functionality ? The workaround does the job but its not elegant… Thanks
