Dropdown + submit: change font color and ask for password before submit

Manuel_o · 19 April 2023 08:56

Hello friends.

Today i try to create the following:

A dropdown widget where the information of the payload will be written only after pushing "submit"
Change the colour of the widget (backgorund) to red, when changes are made. After submitting change the color back to "normal".
When i push submit to "publish" the payload of the dropdown, i want that there is a password prompt where i have to enter a password. Only after entering the correct password, the payload is send.

I already have point 1 and i am struggling with point 2 right now. I cant figure out, how to detect a change (a select in the dropdown) that initiates the color-change

my code so far:

hello. thank you. seems to me like a nice solution.

I tried it with a dropwdown with more than two "select".

the submit button seems to work. It gets red, when i change the dropdown, but the first change - 3 rules gives me this error: "Cannot set property of non-object type: topic[0]"

here is my "modified" version

Set the topic in operating mode to a string "a_name" or json [ ] , at the moment you have it set to msg.topic which will be undefined.
