Embedded Quiver in Workshop - Inputting String Array

[LewisParnham]

Hi, I have a Quiver Dashboard embedded in my Workshop which is currently being passed a String Parameter. I want to update this to a String Array, however when I try to update the String Input on the Dashboard with a new String Array Parameter, my Parameter is not available in the list of selectable Parameters for Input. Looking at the docs, it seems like String Array is a supported Input/Output type for Quiver.

Hey,

It appears that string array inputs are not supported for Quiver dashboards!
Could you direct me to the docs that lead you to believe this is possible? I want to ensure we aren’t misguiding users!

Thanks!

Hey,

Thank you for your speedy response! In the docs here it leads me to believe that string arrays (and others) are valid inputs/outputs: https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/quiver/analysis-data-model#supported-input-and-output-types

Thanks,
Lewis

Hey Lewis,

Ahh, these docs you’ve linked are for Quiver card inputs and outputs! Quiver Dashboard input and output types are a subset of these types. Apologies for the confusion, I can see how these docs led you to believe string arrays are valid inputs!

I’ll flag to the team that these docs could be clarified and additionally that there is interest in a string array input (no promises though ).

Depending on the use case, you could potentially have the input be a string with some delimiter that you split using the Quiver “Split” card. E.g. the string input could be "itemX,itemY,itemZ", which once piped through the Split operation with a , delimiter would provide a string array ["itemX","itemY","itemZ"]!

Best,
Zach
