Dynamic dropdown trigger with parameter

Question

I have created a dynamic dropdown input field in my resource which runs a trigger. This trigger makes a request to my api and returns the data as fields only if they’re of the kind ‘post_type’. This works fine but in the future I want to use this input field for multiple zaps, so the following if-statement has to be replaced:

if(content_type_kind == 'post_type')

with something like:

if(content_type_kind == type)

where ‘type’ is a variable which is different for each resource with this input field.

How can I send this variable from my resources to this trigger?

Hey @SamBWhat GetUWired suggested would work, but I want ‘type’ to be defined based on which create called the function. I did not get it working via dynamic fields yet but I made something similar with a different input field where I made a custom function which creates the fields itself. I hope the feature of sending parameters with dynamic fields and custom input field functions will be added in the future.

You will need a way to fetch that variable out of your app. If the end user needs to make a selection then perhaps a dynamic field or a field that alters the next input field.
