Hi @mjgs,
Thank you for the extra info and context! Definitely helped me better understand the issue you’re facing at this time.
With regards to your question, it sounds like you’re looking to return only the labels that have been selected in a particular item, and not all of the possible labels available for selection on the board, right?
If the answer is yes, what you’re looking for in this case would be the text field for column_values queries. This will output the text of each dropdown label that’s been selected in the item returned.

With regards to the actual jQuery you’re building, I found a few resources that might be helpful:
- html - Jquery - Populate DropDown box with contents of array - Stack Overflow
- java - How to populate dropdownlist with JSON data as ajax response in jQuery - Stack Overflow
The first one includes a really good example of how to populate a dropdown list dynamically, based off of the number of labels available. Definitely check it out as inspiration!
By the way, my colleague was able to come up with an example of how this would look in CodePen, check it out here: https://codepen.io/dipro-b/pen/eYvXPyv?editors=1111.
