Question

Using dropdown list with repeater widget

The user case I am working now is: I have a infotable, which has two columns - Key and Value. I want to show the value as a dropdown list. As far as I know, the grid widget cannot support an embedded widget in a cell. So I want to implement it with a repeater widget. I have a couple questions.

  1. How can pass other parameters into the repeater mashup? I can pass infotable(key-value) to the repeater widget, but I need pass more parameters to the repeater mashup to retrieve all possible Values showing in the dropdown list.
  2. How to save the results? Once the user selecting a new value from the dropdown list, what's the best process to save the infotable (key-value)? I am using the thread as a reference (Input capable list using Repeater widget).

Thanks in advance.

    I think the answer to both 1 and 2 might be Mashup parameters.

    You can use those to pass information from mashup to mashup and you can use it to temporarily hold values.

    Thank you Pai. Actually, I tried to use mash parameters between the mashups. I defined a couple of mashup parameters within the repeater mashup. In the parent mashup (holding the repeater widget), the repeater widget properties panel can show the parameters I defined in the repeater mashup. But the only input to the repeater widget is "Data". All mashup parameters only support a dropdown list to pickup which one to use from the "Data". Does this mean I have to put everything I want to pass to repeater mashup as an Infotable and pass this Infotable to the repeater widget? Such as in the following picture.
