Dynamic Values
Business Background
You can easily set Dynamic Values for various elements, such as drop-down, multiselect, stepper, tab and many more.
There are two use cases for dynamic values:
Dynamically get Salesforce picklist values
- Configure a dynamic sync from a picklist field in Salesforce.
Dynamically create dependencies between project elements
- Affect an element by a Get in the project. In this case, you can create dependencies between elements.
For instance, you can search for a specific account, and only the selected account’s contact list will be shown in a drop-down list.

How to Guide
Dynamically get Salesforce picklist values
- Click the Element Settings Gear icon. The element settings screen opens. The Content list is shown by default.
- You can choose other elements such as Multiselect, Checkbox, Radio, Button group, Stepper, and Tab.
- This article shows how to set a drop-down as an example.
- Select the Dynamic Values radio button.
- Click the Sync from Salesforce button. The Sync from Salesforce screen opens.
- Use the drop-down list to select an object, for example, Account.
- Use the drop-down list to select a field to choose the source containing the items in Salesforce. You can only select from Salesforce picklist fields.
- Click the Apply button. When additional values are added in Salesforce, they automatically show in Titan.
Dynamically create dependencies between project elements
- Select the Lookup field. The screen opens:
- Search for an account.
- Select the account and select the Apply button. The contact drop-down field dynamically changes and holds all account-related contacts.
Note:
For every Dynamic value usage, Titan automatically creates a picklist Get that will be triggered when the page loads.
A different picklist Get will be created per object.
In other words, one picklist Get will hold all Dynamic values for the same object.
A picklist Get was auto-created by Titan for the object Contact.
On the same Get, dynamics values are pulled for both drop-down elements.
