I am trying to create a node whose properties need to be dynamically displayed based on the results of an API call. Currently the properties of a node are defined in a node statically like this properties: [ { displayName: 'Operation', name: 'operation', type: 'options', optio…

No, that is currently sadly not possible. Honestly not sure right now what a simple approach would be. Never thought about it. But out of the top of my head I see the chance that it could cause some problems esp. when the node gets executed. At that point n8n has to know which parameters the node h…

For the sake of argument: Option 1 seems to be relatively simpler to implement but the issue is of different parameters being returned at node execute time. Lets say if that possibility of different parameter responses went away by other means, what would be your take then? PS: I am not asking for…

Not sure if 1 would be much simpler than 2. Both are probably not incredible huge amounts of work and that complicated. But are for sure a bigger fan right now making sure that the parameters and defaults the user did see and set are the one being processed later. Esp. thinking about security. If a…

Based on the answers from Jan, we decided to take a little bit of a different direction and used fixedCollection type intead of options fixedCollection can b…

Just came across the need for this regarding DB2 iseries (AS400 DB) To call IBM i Programs (PGM) which for integration purposes is preferred than direct database access for obvious reasons you will not know before design time what the RPG program interface would be. BUT get delivering n8n along th…

to add the cases: database manipulation node, that pre-fills databases, tables, fields, etc to make database manipulation easier

Hello I am developing a node that also requires dynamic properties, If anyone has a solution please share.

A few developments in the last few years. Maybe you can try the resource mapper And off the top of my head it’s worth looking at the Postgres node as that allows you to dynamically choose columns to set values for.

I am also developing a node that requires dynamic properties, which I was able to do when making a Zapier integration for our API. I believe this should work, but I have not tried it yet. @Talha_Khan is this what you were referring too?
