Hello All,
I am working in an extension that will create a ThingTemplate with some configuration fields and I would like to provide a list of choices instead of a free text input.
I am also considering making it a boolean field if I have only 2 choices but most likely I will have 3 choices and I'd like to provide the options and also the default values
The sample code helped me to create the config table:
Any Thoughts?
Cheers

There is a way to do this - the 'selectOptions' aspect in the ThingworxFieldDefinition annotation. The syntax is a little tricky, with the selectOptions being in a key:value pair notation with a bar splitting the options. The Value is what is shown in the UI in Composer, the Key is what is returned from a selection (also what is used to set the default value). Often times, the Key and Value are the same, just for simplicity, although my example has them different to show the capabilities. Here is the example:
@ThingworxConfigurationTableDefinitions(tables = {
@ThingworxConfigurationTableDefinition(name = "MyConfigTable", description = "", ordinal = 0, dataShape =
@ThingworxDataShapeDefinition(fields = {
@ThingworxFieldDefinition(name = "MyTimePickerField", baseType = "STRING", ordinal = 0, aspects = {
"defaultValue:M",
"selectOptions:S:Seconds|M:Minutes|H:Hours|D:Days|N:Months|Y:Years",
"friendlyName:Time Picker" })
}))
})
