Looking to just get a code figured out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and I would be incredibly thankful.

I’m trying to connect my Dropdown menu’s item to their Database’s “Dynamic page”.
But having some difficulties and I’m not entirely understanding what I’m messing up with the coding.

The code giving me the trouble/error.

The error is mentioning “it must be a type string.”
What would be the correct way to write the code so it connects to the “A-Type-Type (type)” field?

But the code works perfectly fine when I use the manually entered “URL” field.

I would like the dropdown menu to connect to the Database’s auto-generated URL so that when I add a new type item to that database I won’t need to manually update the database URL each time a new “type” or multiple “types” are added to the Database.

Sorry! the screenshot is incredibly small for the error. (not entirely sure if it’s needed, but what I try and what I get when trying to change item)

You need to do toString.

See here for using the Wix Location to function.

@givemeawhisky Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! Got the drop menu to work using the method described in the Youtube Tutorial.
