Custom field Type List

[code (oh)]

Hello Community!

Context:

I’m trying to create a sentence recipe where I take a text input and write it to an item’s column. Ideally, I want users to select from a custom list that includes all available columns—both items and subitems—on the current board.

However, when attempting to trigger the recipe using a subitem-based column, I encountered this error: > “Subitems are not yet supported in apps automations.”

Workaround Attempt:

To bypass this limitation, I considered creating a custom list that dynamically fetches all available column names (both item and subitem columns) so users can select any column.

Problem:

When I receive the payload, there are no identifiers (such as boardId or itemId) available for function calls. The payload structure looks like this:

json

{
  "recipeId": 178483216,
  "integrationId": 432092263,
  "automationId": 432092263,
  "pageRequestData": {},
  "dependencyData": {}
}

Since no boardId or itemId is provided, I tried configuring dependencies within my field type. However, after adding boardId or itemId as dependencies, the “Publish Settings” checkbox in my action trigger workflow block became unavailable, preventing me from using the action block independently.

Questions:

1. Is there a way to retrieve the current boardId within the payload?
2. Can I ensure my action trigger remains available (Enabling the Publish Settings Option) for selection when creating an automation?

Would love insights from anyone who has tackled similar issues or found workarounds!

Thanks in advance for your help!
