Multiple Dropdown Selections values

[pseudo scroll]

When a user uses a slash command, a message including multiple select menus is sent. I'd like to access the selected values together in the sale place

So I have something like this basically as view:

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
  @discord.ui.select(...)
  async def callback_shape(self, select, interaction):
  """Returns the selected shape."""
    ...

  @discord.ui.select(...)
  async def callback_color(self, select, interaction):
  """Returns the selected color."""
    ...

The first callback gives me as value red, the second one gives me triangle
But these values are local to the callback as far as I understood

I'd like to have red and triangle available together somewhere tu use them in a query

Is that possible ?
Or do I need to think it in another way to have these informations together ?

NB: I tried to search for this keywords, and didn't find anything similar

Thank you

You can assign the values to an object variable of the view

Which is referenced using self

Override the init and set the values to default as None

Hello, thanks for taking time to answer

You mean overriding it that way ?

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__()
    self.values = None

[pseudo scroll]

But how the different select callbacks are going to put values there ?
Each callback has to push his own select.values[0] inside self.values ?

[dreamy cloud]

Well using the variable name as values will mess it up

You could use smth like self.colour_choice and self.shape_choice

[pseudo scroll]

Got it! I just tried it that way, and it works as intended

[dreamy cloud]

Or you can directly access self.values[0] and self.values[1] too lol

It can be accessed from either callback

[dreamy cloud]

Oh wait no that's not possible

[pseudo scroll]

Yeah, the values are local to the callbacks, that's why I asked initially ;p

the complete workflow is a bit more complex that the snippet I used to describe my question, so pushing the values from the selects in an object variable of the view worked well for me

[dreamy cloud]

Yeah i realised that you have 2 separate select menus

[pseudo scroll]

Yes, I need to ask the user to select informations that are really different, so I needed to use multiple Select dropdowns

Speaking of which, there is no possibility to dynamically fill the optionfield of a Select, right ?
to do something like this:

@discord.ui.select(
    placeholder = "Choose the OpenStack SSH Key",
    min_values = 1,
    max_values = 1,
    options = sshkey_list()
    )

And have sshkey_list to be a function, like in a slash_command option to fill it with an autocomplete list

[dreamy cloud]

You could also do smth like self.children[0].values[0]

I closed discord before this msg could be sent

[dreamy cloud]

Well you can subclass the select menu. Create the object and add it to the view in the view init

.rtfm view.add

discord.ui.View.add_item

Using that one

I'll have a look at that, thanks !

Done with your help thread?

I still haven't been able to subclass the select menu to have a dynamically generated option list.
I'll have a look into that later, do a little googling and tests.

But as it was not the main topic here, and the advices helped me with the initial question, I will close the thread.
