Hi all,
Is there a way to populate a dropdown list on a visio with the contents of a csv column, so we only have to update the CSV and the panel will automatically pull in the values of the csv column?
Thanks
With the UIVariables.VisualOverview you can assign values to variables from an automation script. With this you can read out your CSV and set your variable to the ':' separated list of values the SetVar shape data requires. When the script is done executing, you can then use the var placeholder inside your SetVar shape data to populate the dropdown.
Hi Ryan,
As far as I know this is not possible out of the box. A possible option could be using a table from an element to populate the drop-down list:
Configuring the shape data field
If you want the user to be able to select the new value from a list of values stored in a (table) parameter:
[Sep::X]VariableNameX[Param:dmaid/eid,pid]
The drawback for this case is that you will need to update the connector. The driver should ingest the content of the CSV file in a new table.
Hope it helps.
