Resource locator - list: populate fields on item select

Questions
1

Hello!

I am using resource locator - list option to fetch data from api and I need to populate node UI string elements when user selects item from dropdown.

I couldn’t find anything related to this topic at the moment. Is there functionality for this usecase that I’m missing?

Thank you!

Hi @vasoviand,

Thanks for posting! Could you tell us what kind of information you’re looking for exactly?
You can find information about the resource locator in our docs here: Node UI elements | n8n Docs and also look at the code on github for other nodes that use resource locator in their options and use them as references.

Hello @aya!
When I have to select an item from list - resourceLocator, some fields from the node should be autofilled with the selected object values.

I don’t think I saw this handling in other nodes, yet.

In the docs > Node UI Elements, you can find links to nodes where each element is used. For the list search option, have a look at the following:

Hope that helps!
