Updated way to do drop downs returning id of selected value

Show and Tell

Create your table

Create your function

Load the data into an array. And then map it to a text list (so the drop down can use it)

Create a single select, and create its ‘selected value’

Populate the drop down from the drop_down_list

Now write a trigger to populate the selected index

@mellerbeck I love this. Combining the MAP_TO_[TYPE]_LIST() with ARRAY_INDEX_OF() is such a powerful technique, and you’ve given a really clear, elegant example of how it works here. Thanks for sharing!
