I’m looking to create a program that updates many records at once in my contacts database. I currently have three single-select fields that I’d like to map responses to. When I get the schema via api, it does not appear to include the drop-down “sub-types.” I’d like to expedite finding the associat…

Thanks @Chr1sG I was having trouble querying for the dropdowns but tried the Fibery type instead of the fibery/name value and was successful. Example below for people in the future: { "command": "fibery.entity/query", "args": { "query": { "q/from": "${app}/${dropdownN…

The options for a single select are in effect entities of the single select database (a.k.a. type) so querying the schema will not get you them. You need to do an entity query to find out the ids of each option.

I’ve struggled with this before too. I had to look at the incoming HTTP requests from Fibery to find the UUID’s of options in various dropdowns/selects. It would be handy if there was some [Item UUID] argument for formulas. That way we could easily just create a temporary field to copy the ID when …

I guess you’ve probably have thought of it, but you could make text field (called UUID) and define a scheduled automation to get the ID. Then just ‘Run now’ to populate all of them at once: [image]

This is quite creative. I think it’s a great way for people who are not using the API to extract the information.

Hey Chris, has a method for listing all available UUIDs for select fields/state fields been added to the official documentation? I’m having some trouble navigating it so it’s possible they have and I couldn’t find the documentation.

Adding in case someone is googling how to get the Fibery ID of all options for a State field: { "command": "fibery.entity/query", "args": { "query": { "q/from": "${fibery/Type}", "q/select": ["fibery/rank","enum/name","fibery/id"], "q/limit": 10 …

[image] helloitse: Hey Chris, has a method for listing all available UUIDs for select fields/state fields been added to the official documentation. Not sure what you’re looking for - the explanation about select fields (enums) is on this page: https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/F…

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately It’s not there. As this post suggests sometimes it is necessary to get the ID’s of all the options for a collection field. It’s possible to find this information by querying the API but there is no mention of how to do so in the documentation. Seems like a bit of…

So, the options are entities, and getting their uuids (or any property for that matter) is just a case of using the standard entity query (as you showed in your example post above). The only thing that differs from ‘normal’ entities are the things that are specific to enums (how the type is named, …

So can the documentation be update to be clear and to include the examples above?
