What do you need help with?

Is there a way to create a data source from a form element? For example, I would like to display in a table the selected items from the record selector element (multiple items). I tried doing it with the title element, but I can only display the ID.

Please attach screenshots or videos if they help illustrate your question.

Hey @josefernandez,

You can’t use directly form element for the data sources but you can use the form element to create an url that contains a query parameter that can then be used to filter your data source.

You can first create the query parameter for the page and add a link element in the very same page to itself with the query parameter populated from the record selector. It’s not perfect yet but it should do the trick while we implement something better.

Hope that help.
