(Integration) Refresh attributes list automatically

The issue

The node I am working on needs to display options in a drop-down menu. The options have to be relevant to the context given by another drop-down menu.

Here is an example with a country and a city :

The City dropdown menu options are relevant to the country France.
Yet, when another country is selected, the selected Cities remain and the dropdown menu isn’t updated.

In order to update the City dropdown menu, the user has to :

  • manually remove the selected items
  • manually use the (somewhat hidden) “Refresh List” button.

Is there a way to make the list update automatically ?

Hi @paulglx,

have you tried using loadOptionsDependsOn ?

{
	displayName: 'City',
	typeOptions: {
		loadOptionsDependsOn: ['country'],
	},
}

This is in fact the solution.

Many thanks !
