Hi,
How can I read dropdown labels? I only get ids.

I use query like this:

query {
   items (ids: PULSE_ID) {
      column_values (ids: "dropdown") {
          value
      }
   }
}

Hi @Pawel,

Thanks for posting in the Developers & API community 👋

If you introduce text then it should return the actual labels themselves.

Will you give the query below a try and let me know if it does the trick?:

query {
  items (ids: 000000000) {
    column_values (ids: "dropdown") {
      value
      text
    }
  }
}

Here’s what it’s returning:

{
  "data": {
    "items": [
      {
        "column_values": [
          {
            "value": "{\\"ids\\":[1,2,3,4],\\"changed_at\\":\\"2019-11-22T22:57:12.669Z\\"}",
            "text": "Alpha, Beta, Charlie, Delta"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  },
  "account_id": 000000000
}

And here’s a screenshot of the relevant Dropdown Column:
