Datalist option auto-calc

Hey team !

I’m trying to work on a dynamic select. As of right now I’m able to update options of a datalist through the use of a fieldset :

Thing is, I want the value of the <option> to reflect the content of the input, be it from sheetworker or auto-calc.

Is that possible?

I was surprised that you could embed a fieldset inside a datalist.  That's cool.  I don't believe it's possible to create a dynamic select though. Maybe if building a Beacon-based sheet.  Perhaps Scott C. or GiGs would know of a method.  Not sure if it works in your use case, but I've created multiple versions of the same <select> and only revealed one(using css to hide/show) based on criteria.

I had never thought of putting a fieldset in a datalist like that. Unfortunately, datalists don't really work well. This isn't a thing about Roll20 but about how browsers handle them. Firefox and Chrome handle them dramatically differently and that goes so far as to change what information is presented to the user vs. what is stored depending on if you use chrome or firefox.

In order to get a dynamic list, you can use the populateListOptions sheetworker to dynamically update the options of a select. Note that you need to run the populate on sheet opened as well because the changes are not persistent across openings of the sheet.

I forgot about that. 8)
populateListOptions() Is not in the wiki:sheet worker scripts wth?

Did it get any further "tuning" by the Devs Scott?

No, but it works very well. I've used it in a couple sheets. There's a few finicky things mostly to do with translations, but those are easily handled.

This looks promising, I’ll tinker with it a bit more but I think this is it !

Thank you for the quick answer !
