how to save dropdown values from update list

Question

If needed I can provide login details to take closer look. That would likely explain much more than many lines of explanations here🙂

I am trying to create simple create-categories -program with Connectivity. Most other parts seems to work OK, but I cannot seem to be able to update values from dropdown field when doing multiple edit, and then to press update list like the one in "Dynamic Actions Demo".

I have there 2 fields: one text field for category name, and a dropdown to select parent category. If I change the text field, pressing update list works as expected, values get changed. But the dropdown values does not. When debugging I found out that it does not get correct values, but I do not know how to retrieve the correct values. Also, I noticed that the name-field of the text field gets id number in parenthesis like category[8], while the name of the parent category field does not: parentcat[]. This could maybe helped if I tried to parse the id from that but seemed not to work either.

I am likely missing some key points on how to work with connectivity there.

I already had there that one so it was not the cause, but I found the solution: In the name field of dropdown I didn't have the row number, but I was able to add it there by putting {var:categorieslist.row.Category.id} inside the [ ]. That at the same time made it to work correctly. Hope this helps someone with similar problem
