Dropdown selection to populate text item

Hi all, I’m relatively new to this so excuse my ignorance. It seems to me that it should be able to add a dropdown and show some text based on the user’s selection without any code. For example:

By creating a dataset from a collection and linking the dropdown values to one field and the text to another. This seems like the whole point of datasets.

It works when both the dropdown AND the text are linked to the same field but not when linked to different fields… I have researched complex workarounds using code to get the value from the dropdown and then query the dataset to find the value for the text. I couldn’t get it to work either but it seems to me that it shouldn’t be necessary. If I’m wrong, are there any cases in which dataset sets work without code?

I’ll take the opportunity to ask a secondary question: are there any “tables” in Editor X?

I appreciate your time and help,

Antonio

Hello, Antonio.

Your users can filter content based on their selection from a dropdown. For example, if you have a recipe website, you can let users filter the recipes based on a preferred course like breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

I assume that the support article below should help you start:

Thanks for the reply. It turns out that you can’t connect the dropdown to the dataset which is quite counter-intuitive but the problem is now solved.

Thanks again.
