Using session variable for select field - can‘t clear variable

PowerShell Universal Universal Dashboard

Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 3.8.8

Hi!
I have to the following dashboard. Whenever I select a radio button, it updates the choices in the select field. Unfortunately, it try’s to the same one multiple times as I receive the following error when selecting a radio button:

Also, the select box always just shows one option, even though there should be 2 at the moment. It shows that it adds 2 options, but I can only select one option.

Any ideas?


$Session:ClientOptions = @()

                New-UDTypography -Text "Loading..." -Variant h2

        New-UDRadioGroup -Id "message_category" -Label "Message category" -Content {

            if ($halo_clients.count -lt 10) {

Solved it by doing it this way:


            $options = @()
            foreach($halo_client in $halo_clients) {
                $options += New-UDSelectOption -Name $halo_client.name -Value $halo_client.id
                Show-UDToast -Message "Added $($halo_client.name)" -Duration 3000
            }
            $Session:ClientOptions = $options
            Show-UDToast -Message "Options: $($Session:ClientOptions.count)" -Duration 5000
            Sync-UDElement -Id 'dySelect'
            Set-UDElement -Id 'backdrop' -Properties @{
                    open = $false
            }

@2clickk you can alos use switches, just a tip for your code :slight_smile:

            $message_category = (Get-UDElement -Id 'message_category').value
            if ($message_category -eq "All users") {
                $halo_clients = $halo_clients | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.Mailcontactallusers -ne $null }
            }
            if ($message_category -eq 'Security') {
                $halo_clients = $halo_clients | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.Mailcontactsecurity -ne $null }
            }
            if ($message_category -eq "Management") {
                $halo_clients = $halo_clients | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.Mailcontactmanagement -ne $null }
            }

Looks much nicer like this

            $message_category = (Get-UDElement -Id 'message_category').value

switch ($message_category) {
 "All users" {
$halo_clients = $halo_clients | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.Mailcontactallusers -ne $null }
}
"Security {
 $halo_clients = $halo_clients | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.Mailcontactsecurity -ne $null }
}
"Management" {
$halo_clients = $halo_clients | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.Mailcontactmanagement -ne 
}
}

But you can also just do the utput like the last thing in your $halo_clients then just write the line something like this.

$message_category = (Get-UDElement -Id 'message_category').value
if ($null -ne $message_category) {
$halo_clients = $halo_clients | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.Mailcontact$($message_category) -ne $null }
}

But then you need to change the value from “all Users” to “allusers” for the online above would work
