Power BI Template app query parameters
Hi djordje369,
Just to double check, what type of field are you using? Is it a text field or a different type?
Can you share a screenshot of your query parameter setup? That would help troubleshooting.
I am assuming you followed the steps of this article? (Might be worth double checking the steps).

Hi, yes i use text field as output and i followed documentation. Somehow on installation wizard of template app i get parameter as simple input and not populated dropdown.. I will also include image of parameter in Power BI Desktop.Query ParameterQuery that retrieves environments
Thanks for sharing these details. How did you configure that parameter in the template app itself?
Hi again and thanks for replying. Only configuration i can do in template app is to set current value that user can override on installation but i don't want from user to type in input parameter, I want predefined dropdown with values and then let user to choose what to use as parameter which is issue in this topic..
Based on my test setup it looks like it might not be supported. My text query parameter Environment (with suggested values from a query) only shows a text input and not as a dropdown list when I install the app.
So, I can reproduce your behaviour.
In my example I used example Input (so the current value in SANDBOXPI but the user get the suggestion of PRODUCTION and only has to press next). This might be a workaround if you only have a list of two values?
