I'm making a custom connector, but my user will use only one server (each user has is own server), so I'm wondering if there's a way to set a default value from code to the text box? (or any way to pass from a text file), so my user would not need to type the URL every time he uses the connector and star the authentication process?
SetupServerTemplate = type function (
url as (
Uri.Type meta [
Documentation.FieldCaption = "Server URL",
Documentation.FieldDescription = "The URL server"
]
)
) as function meta [
Documentation.Name = "My custom connector",
Documentation.FieldDescription = "Connector to retrieve data from the server"
];
I have in mind that probable I can use something like:
Source = File.Contents("C:\Users\TheUser\Documents\MyServer.txt"),
TheServer= Text.FromBinary(Source)
Documentation.AllowedValues = TheServer
But seems that is not possible to read files from a custom connector
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @ECorona,
I'd like to suggest you take a look at the following link to setting the parameter in your connection strings in dropdown list format.
