Describe the problem/error/question
I’m trying to dynamically populate a dropdown in a “Form Trigger” node with project names from Asana using the “Get Many Projects” node. However, since the “Form Trigger” is the initial node, I’m facing challenges in pre-populating the dropdown options dynamically.
What is the error message (if any)?
No error message, but I’m stuck on how to approach this.
Please share your workflow
Share the output returned by the last node
The last node successfully generates the dropdown options in the expected format (label and value), but I can’t get these into the “Form Trigger” node.

Hey folks!
I’ve hit a snag trying to dynamically populate a dropdown field in my “Form Trigger” node with Asana project names. The catch is that since the “Form Trigger” is the start of the workflow, I’m not sure how to pass the project names from the Asana node to this dropdown.
Has anyone managed to crack this or found a creative workaround? I’m all in for trying out your suggestions or any clever tricks you might have up your sleeve.
Well… I think the only possible way to do so is to use the n8n node and Update Workflow operation.
The simplest solution would be to move the Form Trigger node into separate workflow that will have two nodes:
Form trigger
Execute Workflow (points to the workflow with the AI model)
In the AI workflow you will need to replace the Form Trigger with the Execute Workflow Trigger.
And you will need the third workflow with Asana and n8n nodes that will update the Form Trigger workflow with actual form data.
the idea is to split one workflow into smaller. Like this.
Workflow with AI
Workflow with the Form
Workflow with Asana node that will update the Form WF
You will need to create the n8n API key in the n8n settings and save it as a credential. Plus execute the n8n node with the workflow ID of the Form Workflow
