Primitive field types

Select field types

There might arise conditions where you want your end customers to select from a list which is platform specific and cannot be configured using Primitive field types. For example, List of Stages or List of Tags. Such lists are platform specific and prone to changes. As a result hard coding the options using Primitive field types is not recommended. To cater to such issues, Cobalt provides Select Fields. To use Select fields, create a setting and select the type from the list of Select fields available. You can also get the fields of a dropdown by using Datasource where you fetch the options by using another workflow.
Learn more about DataSource and how to use it in the detailed guide here.
The users can then select from the options defined for the field which is fetched from the platform in real time. The below image shows the list of Pipedrive Select fields to choose from. Pipedrive dynamic fields
