The Dynamic Select control is deprecated, but supported. Use the Dropdown control (pxDropdown) instead.The drop-down control is easier to configure and includes additional features.
As a best practice, upgrade Dynamic Select controls to Dropdown controls. If a section contains DynamicSelect, Select, or another control for which there is an improved alternative, a warning displays, along with an Update Controls button. Click Update Controls to automatically update deprecated controls in the section. Automatic update is not available for all controls; see Upgrading deprecated and outdated controls on the PDN.
The Dynamic Select control is an optional feature you can add to user forms (through HTML rules, harnesses, or sections) and other HTML forms to speed user input.
This control provides a dynamic alternative to the normal (static) HTML SELECT element below:
<select Name="name" >
<option Value="red">Red</option>
<option Value="yellow">Yellow</option>
<option Value="green">Green</option>
</select>
When presented, a static option list presents a fixed list of choices determined in the HTML code. In contrast, the Dynamic Select control displays a drop-down list that contains values returned from an activity.
