Formaloo dropdown data not read

Bugs & Issues
1

Hello,
I use Formaloo and Telegram.
On Telegram, I want to display dropdown data from Formaloo, but the data is not readable.

I have replied to emails several times with LateNode support. However, the last email was not replied.

How is the progress of this case?

Thank you

Hi
After your update, I tried creating a new scenario, but the issue persists: Latenode still can’t read the dropdown option.

Hi! Sorry for the late reply :folded_hands:
The thing is, in data you only get the IDs of the selected answers, while the actual text values are stored deeper.
You need to use rendered_data → the value field contains the readable text.

You can simply check this by searching through the variables.

The answers are ordered the same way as the form fields:

  • {{1.data.row.rendered_data.[0].value}} — first answer
  • {{1.data.row.rendered_data.[1].value}} — second answer
  • {{1.data.row.rendered_data.[2].value}} — third answer

If the dropdown is only coughing up IDs on your end, I usually just drill into the form_response fields until I hit the options array and grab the text there. It feels a bit like digging for loose change in the couch, but it works. Once you map that text to your Telegram message, everything shows up clean.
