The multi-select dropdown appears useless for later looping and processing selections for Assets

When using a multi-select dropdown on a form, the resulting list contains ids and not display ids. You cannot use ids in the REST api or Reader nodes to get to the asset records. Is there any way to get to the asset records?

@lavalamp1958 Good day!
can you please elaborate your query? with some code snippet and what you are trying to achieve?

Thanks

I am aware that within the workflow loop block I could use the server names instead and use the name in the reader rather than the id, but there is no guarantee that the name will return 1 row. I suppose the answer to that would be not use a reader but a web request asset filter on name that could then find the correct asset in the response body or json parser. That would work - oh… I could refence the id from the id list and use it in the json filter after the web search. ok, that would kind of work - not pretty but it should work. I will take this approach. It would be nice though if the display ids were in the array and not the ids.
