Example
In this example, we have a button (in blue) that when clicked will populate the dropdown of the component.
Steps
First, we drag a button and a dropdown input onto the Editor.
Select the button and under the 'Actions' tab, drag the Component.setOptions into the flow for the button.
Under the inspector for this function, select the component whose dropdown you would be populating, which in this example is Dropdown411, and then fill in valueField and displayField
Add the function Conversion.toList in the 'data' parameter using the 'function' parameter type.
Then add Conversion.toObject inside each parameter of the Conversion.toList function. The object must follow valueField and displayField that has been set
Result
Save and preview your app.
Now when you click the button, it will set the dropdown of Dropdown411.
