Is it possible to use a variable for dropdown options

[bh]

Umm I found a couple of threads about this:

How to make a JavaScript dropdown menu!

function () { alert("Yay! JavaScript menu!") return { "Option 1" : "Option 1", "Option 2" : "Option 2" }; } Replace the alert function with your own code, and replace Option 1 and Option 2 texts with what you want the menu to display. Example (Yes I know it's rude)

Menu using javascript

whenever I try to put a "function" in the input slot options, I can't update the custom block, like the apply button doesn't work, and the ok button doesn't close the dialog, and doesn't update the block. and I apparently can't change the block shape, or the category. edit: I just found out that the ok button and the apply button do update the block, they just don't update the parameters if they have a menu, or default value.

Is it possible to insert a reporter in a dropdown?

its the normal set [var] to [val] block with a reporter in it. i just changed the block spec so the first input slot was a normal string input which accepts reporters. that can be done through javascript or developer mode. once you save and load it turns back to the original dropdown menu but keeps the reporter, which you can rename to whatever variable you wanted to put or swap out with any other reporter.
