Wow thanks, I didn´t know there was this article!
Your two lines of code works like a charm!

Chris is really the Saint of this forum! Even he is long time gone (from Aras), he still does wonders and miracles!
If I ever can get hold of a few holy relics from him, I'll hang his finger bones into the server room.😎

I think the dropdowns and CUI in general is still underrated. My shown use case is from a custom Change Management process.
While influencing relationships from CUI is challenging, it integrates very well and offers nice usability.

I also use some right-click events for setting change actions, and compared to the old ones from Impact Matrix, there are much more intuitive to use for the end-user.

Hi Angela,

There is an Aras Blog that covers using these 2 CUI elements together that you can find here:
https://www.aras.com/community/b/english/posts/using-cui-dropdowns

When looking into it they access the value set in the dropdown from the button during the onclick method for the button:

var generationDropdown = control.data.get("labs.part.ivcb.version_selector.dropdown");
var selectedId = generationDropdown.value;

Looks like the value is accessed using this helper method "control.data.get" and passing in the string value of the CUI name.
