Populating a dropdown list contained within a composite

[JBARLOW]

Just wondering if anyone can shed light on how to populate a dropdown list contained within a composite?

Using the BestRunJuice sample model - a really simple bar chart and dropdown list.
How do we call the script to do the usual
--- getdatasource.getmembers('sales_manager') ... etc etc Add them all to the dropdown

It seems odd that dropdowns are available in composites, yet only viable with manually entered values:?

From the documentation there is no "onInitialization" event so similar yet. One workaround would be to create an interface function "initialize" in the composite and call it from the application for each composite in your app.

Thanks Bob,

That worked, must admit i've not really used composites much up until now - so still on the learning curve of the limitations/nuances

Cheers

Hello, you can make a function in the composite to populate your dropdown and call it from the main Story.
