- Default Selection: A specific data type can be selected as the default in the Select Box element (e.g. String).
- Conditional Visibility: Different elements can be displayed depending on the selected data type (e.g. if Date is selected, the calendar component is displayed).
- Form Automation: The DataType field of the Create Attribute action can be automatically populated depending on the selected data type.
Technical Risks
- Beta Version Risk: Since the feature is still in beta, new data types may be added or some data types may be removed.
- Empty List: In rare cases, the list may be empty due to a system issue; in this case, the user should be informed accordingly.
- Data Compatibility Issues: The data format linked to the dropdown component must match the structure expected by the component (such as Label and Value).
The Get Attribute Data Type action provides significant convenience when creating dynamic forms and user-defined fields in the Kuika platform that are compatible with the EAV model. Thanks to its simple structure, lack of parameters, and system compatibility, it is an ideal solution for developing form automations and user-friendly screens.
