Dropdowns

Dropdown Schema: class

Below is an example of a dropdown schema defined in code. The __benchling_name__ property is used to define the name of the dropdown in Benchling, while the __allowed_values__ property is used to define the values of the dropdown.

# Example dropdown definition
from liminal.base.base_dropdown import BaseDropdown


class Toppings(BaseDropdown):
    __benchling_name__ = "Toppings"
    __allowed_values__ = ["Pepperoni", "Mushroom", "Onion", "Sausage", "Bacon"]
