Active Gate Plugins: How to use "dropdown" config UI input

[r_weber]

The Active Gate plugin JSON reference mentions input type "dropdown", however it is missing the documentation how one would prepopulate the dropdown field:

It would be nice if the documentation would also mention how to use the drowpdown and prefill it with options?

Anyone has done this and an example for it?

The property needs to look like this:

    { "key" : "instanceYellowAlert",
      "type" : "Dropdown",
      "defaultValue":"No",
      "dropdownValues":["Yes","No"]
    }

Thanks Michael, great to have you instead of complete documentation 🙂

[Mike_L]

Experience beats everything 🙂

Well, I'd say just need to know where to ask. Guessing properties by trial and error isn't fun.

[Mike_L]

That's very true.

I will send the documentation feedback to the responsible team.

The documentation here shows what the names of the fields are: https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/extensions/development/extension-how-tos/ext...
