Hi community & Softr.
We have an app that frequently uses external software embeddable widgets in our app’s pages. We use the HTML custom code block to embed these widgets. Straightforward.
However, the twist is that we need these widgets to retrieve data or do something in the context of specific information. That information comes from our Softr app. So, we need to feed these widgets things like ID’s or some other identifier data for the widget to know what to do.
So, basically there needs to be a way to pass the info retrieved by the list or list detail block into the widget’s code.
We actually have it working right now. But the issue is that we have complex code in the custom HTML block with some JS to make it work.
It would be nice if Softr provided a more “native” and simple way to just reference another list or list detail’s block returned data element in the HTML custom code block’s code, via an @ or some similar syntax. This would be really great.
Thanks!
