We'd like to be able to populate dropdowns shown in a Workflow app with values that live in different systems. From what we can see, it looks like our only options are to manually enter dropdown options or source them from a data table.
We know that we could populate a data table from another recipe that could fetch this data from different API endpoints, say on a schedule, but we'd rather not have data duplication like that (source system *and* Workato data table).
Ideally, we'd be able to configure a dropdown to be backed by either a REST endpoint or a Workato recipe function (which could delegate to the endpoint). Either way, we'd also want to be able to parameterize the call to fetch the data since there may be user-specific data that we'd want to return for display in the dropdown (username, role, maybe even something else that's been selected on the workflow app form).
What options might we have for accomplishing this?
Thanks.
