Column Selection (legacy)

This node is part of the legacy Quick Form nodes and will be deprecated soon. The replacement for this node can be found in the configuration/widget nodes. For more information on these new nodes see this blog post.

Takes a data table and returns a variable with the selected column name. The selection can also be controlled from a quickfrom (WebPortal).

The node supports custom CSS styling. You can simply put CSS rules into a single string and set it as a flow variable 'customCSS' in the node configuration dialog. You will find the list of available classes and their description on our documentation page.

Options

Label: A descriptive label that will be shown in, for instance the web port.
Description: Some lines of description that will be shown in the remote control form, for instance by means of a tooltip.
