Set Dropdown Field using an Expression

Questions

Problem/Error/Question

I’m trying to set a dropdown field to a specific value using an expression. Let me illustrate this using a “Microsot To Do” app/node, by adding the “Importance” field. I would like to set this field using an Expression (with input from a previous node).

The “Importance” field basically has 3 options: “Low”, “Normal” or “High”. These translate to value 0, 1 or 2. If I use the value “{{ $json.importance }}” (which, by the way is a Number), I get an exclamation mark/error.

Error Message

Issues:

  • The value “2” is not supported!
