Hi everyone,
I’m creating an Action Type to create a new Employee, and I’m using linked tables for both Department and Designation. Here’s the behavior I want:
In the form, I want the drop-downs to show the department/designation names (e.g., “HR”, “Sales”, etc.) – this part works fine.
But when the form is submitted, I want to store the corresponding ID (UUID) in the employee table, not the name.
Right now, when I select “HR”, the string “HR” is being saved instead of the actual ID like 6a516898-4dec-4f2b-8e28-35fcd3…
How can I configure the parameter so that:
The user sees the name in the UI,
But the linked ID is stored on submission?
I’ve attached screenshots to help illustrate:
One shows the data structure with IDs and names,
Another shows the form with the dropdown selection.
Any help would be appreciated!
