Make a 'value list' component based on list 1. with names and list 2. with values

[ruud.vanknippenberg (RV)]

Hi,

Question:

There are 2 lists, (whereby the content can change)

List 1.: containing values
List 2: containing ‘Names’

challenge;

I would like to use these 2 list to (automatically) generate a ‘value list’ component/dropdown menu.
Containing the names form list 2, and values of list 1.

Any suggestions?

There are some options over here:

Setting the entries in a value list?

You can do by explicitly wrapping your string in string quotes, like so: [2020-10-22 14_25_31-Grasshopper - 201022_PopulateValueList_00] 201022_PopulateValueList_00.gh (4.4 KB) That’s getting a bit finicky, and I’m sure there are probably simpler solutions. One should probably at least check the type of the value, and then go into a conditional based on integer, float, or string.

Ahh thank :).

This is almost exactly what I want, unfortunetely there is 1 important thing missing;

when the input lists are ‘modified/changed’ the Values/Names is the list are nog automatically updated.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

… when the input lists are ‘modified/changed’ the Values/Names is the list are no[t] automatically updated.

Can you provide an example of your implementation? It seems to work for me.

Ahh sory, I didnt see it is importatnt that the Name and value list name have to be the same
to make a connection.

It works thanks!
