Dynamic List with forms properties?

Hi guys!

How we can create list (enum) with the dynamic options, filling options in java class or with UEL expressions?

In forms (act 5.6) I used:

<select name="listCategory">

${myVariable == 'A'?
'<option value="a1">A1</option>
<option value="a2">A2</option>'
:' '}

${myVariable == 'B'?
'<option value="b1">B1</option>
<option value="b2">B2</option>'
:' '}

</select>
<input type="hidden" name="tecnicosel_type" value="String"/>'
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I test in act5.7 in form properties… and UEL don't work =S maybe with Expressions/Spring?

Other option maybe:

<activiti:formProperty id="chose1" variable="" type="enum" name="chose1" required="true" readable="true" writable="true">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="#{bean.getId1()}" name="#{bean.getName1()}" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="#{bean.getId2()}" name="#{bean.getName2()}" />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <activiti:value id="#{bean.getId3()}" name="#{bean.getName3()}" />
</activiti:formProperty>‍‍‍‍‍

The problem is that in my case the number of options is different… depending of value of variable. I could put the maximum, but isn't much elegant…

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

It may be a good idea to implement your own custom form type.
In the Activiti Explorer you can find a UserFormType which is also an example of a flexible number of items.

Best regards,
