Filtered dropdown list App builder

Grasshopper ShapeDiver
1

Hi!

I have a question regarding dropdown lists in shapediver/appbuilder:
Is it possible to make a filtered dropdown list that only shows the filtered options in shapediver?

For example: start with 5 options, filter → 3 options are shown in shapediver.
My workaround now is making two dropdown list in grasshopper and filter which one is shown in shapediver. But when more filters are needed, keeping track becomes more difficult.

This can be done using the dynamic parameters feature, which is currently still in beta; at the moment, you will need to build and manipulate JSON objects to achieve this goal, but in the future we will include specific components in the plugin to help build this efficiently.

You can check the below tutorial which explains step by step how to achieve a workflow similar to the one you are referring to.

Let me know if you have questions after reviewing the tutorial.
