Dropdown input element is not available in Studio Pro

0
Hi team, I am doing the crash course 'Summer Hill Hospital' . I could not able to find the dropdown input element to replace the textbox to dropdown. I tried to download from the Marketplace but there are so many different versions, it does not match with the one shown in the downloaded module 7. I see the dropdown input element on  the downloaded module app but not in the app I am working on. How do I make the dropdown input element available from one module to another module or across all apps as input element. I came from Nintex and K2 Five background and the way Mendix works is totally different and too much of wizard based, kind of confusing to adept as I am still learning this platform.   Please suggest about getting access to dropdown input widget atleast so that I can continue practicing this crash course. Thanks

Hi Neeraj,

 

 

You cannot “copy” widgets between modules, but you can make them appear by creating the right data structure.

 

Do this:

 

1. Make sure your page has a Data View with an entity.

 

 

2. Inside that Data View, add a new widget.

 

 

3. In the Toolbox, check under Inputs:

 

Dropdown

 

Reference Selector

 

If it still doesn’t appear:

 

Ensure your app is using Atlas Core or any standard theme (no custom stripped-down UI).

 

Right-click your project → App → Synchronize App Directory.

Hi Hariharan,

 

I am having issue on Point 3. I do not see 'drop down' element at all and I have used the Atlas Core theme. I do not know why I do not see this. For any input control, 'drop down' is the most common control any UI can have. Why Mendix is not having dropdown control by default. Strange !
