Hi! I have a Dynamic Dataset on my dynamic item page, and I want to grab the _id of the current item that is viewed.
How can I get the _id that is outputted, instead of the whole thing?

let itemObj = $w("#myDataset").getCurrentItem();
2 
$w("#dataset1").getCurrentItem().fieldName;

I already got it! I used this:

let itemObj = $w("#dynamicDataset").getCurrentItem();

This gives your output:

itemObj._id

And this tests it:

console.log(itemObj._id)

You can also use this code by @givemeawhisky:

let itemFieldName = $w("#dataset1").getCurrentItem().fieldName;

And this tests it:

console.log(itemFieldName)

Oh thanks! Already got it, just had to think one minute longer lol

That is typical, most times the solutions are starring us right in our faces, like myself be dumb for five mins then go away and grab a cuppa and look again and there it is :wink:

What if that value is variable? Lets say that the user picks the desired field from a dropdown.
I tried this, but as it’s not that exact field name, it won’t work. Any suggestions?

let dropdownChoice = $w('#dropdown').value;
$w("#dataset1").getCurrentItem().dropdownChoice;
