I cannot use text input field in blockly to set a dynamic dropdown

[victormorcam]

I want to build a block that searches in a list the input text value ad display the results in the dropdown dynamically (using blockly).

This is what I am building but I am not able to get and use the text input value:

{
        "type": "search",
        "message0": "%1 %2",
        "args0": [
          {
            "type": "field_input",
            "name": "input1",
            "text": "whatever",
          },
          {
            "type": "input_dummy",
            "name": "INPUT"
          }
        ],
      "extensions": ["dynamic_menu_extension"],
      },

  Blockly.Extensions.register('dynamic_menu_extension',
  function() {
    this.getInput('INPUT')
      .appendField(new Blockly.FieldDropdown(
        function() {
          var options = [];
          Blockly.JavaScript['search'] = function(block) {
            var searchVal = block.getFieldValue('input1');
            return searchVal;}
          for (var i=0 ; i < list.length ; i++)
        {
             if (list[i] == searchVal) {
                options.push([list[i],list[i]]);
            }
        }
          return options;
        }), 'whatever1');
  });

It works as if the input text field was not defined.

Hello!

In order to get the text for the input field you can do something like below:
var searchValue = this.getInput('INPUT').fieldRow[0].getValue();

If you have any more questions please ask them on the forum. This keeps our github issues clean and gives you a chance to get help from other developers.
Thanks!
