Examples

The describePicklist command is well-suited for replicating a Salesforce picklist on a Screen. First, acquire the picklist data with the command.

<describePicklist var="oppStages" object="Opportunity" field="StageName">

The produced variable, a Collection of the picklist's values, could then become the options of a HTML select element.

<select name="selectedStage">
  <option dyn-repeat="oppStages" dyn-repeat-var="stage" dyn-value="stage" dyn-content="stage"></option>
</select>
