Hi,

Dropdowns can only be used with attributes of type enumeration.

You can use a reference selector of a association with your Account entity

Hi Nicole,

In order to do this you cannot use the regular dropdown, since you cannot choose the selectable objects. To achieve this you can do the following.

- Create an association from the entity you are working with to account

- Use a reference selector on the association entity_account. Set Email as attribute.

- Open the reference selector widget and go to selectable objects. If you need the emails of 1 user role you can set the selectable objects with an xPath, otherwise use a datasource microflow.

Let me know if this helped!
