Hi Nick,

Thanks for the explanation.

I'm using JSGrid to display data and perform CRUD operation. The fields with type "select" (dropdown) are not displaying data. Once I click to add and edit data, I'm unable to make the fields to appear as dropdown with options from the database (e.g. Location\_Name from location table). I just would like to make this work.

Here's the link of the topic for more information: [Gridview with CRUD Options (MySQL)](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/gridview-with-crud-options-mysql/2244)

I tried the following syntax to access array properties in mustache template, but I'm unable to display the data. Maybe the syntax is incorrect.

```auto
var db = {{{payload.0}}}; //payload[0] (Data for main)
var loc = {{{payload.1}}}; //payload[1] (Data for dropdown 1)
var mac = {{{payload.2}}} //payload[2] (Data for dropdown 2)

{
	title: "Location",
	name: "location",
	type: "select",
	items: loc,
	width: 100
}

{
	title: "Type",
	name: "type",
	type: "select",
	items: mac,
	width: 100
}

```

Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for helping.
