Blueprint Dynamic Drop Down Question

Good day all,

I have a series of dynamic drop down items and everything works great but there is one thing that I have been unable to work the way I would like.  In some cases the dynamic actions come back with multiple answers that you select in the drop down but in other cases, when only one value is returned you still have to set the value.  I would really like to hide a couple of the drop downs that I know are going to only return with a single answer.  Has anyone figured out how to make the drop down automatically populate when there is a single value returned in the array with out having to drop down the box?

Thanks

Steve

Setting a default value will have that effect, in an XaaS blueprint, at least. I populate a drop-down list with an Orchestrator action, and then also set the default with (theSameOrchestratorAction)[0] in the presentation. I guess you could do something similar setting visible to (action).length > 0, or something like that. Are you talking about a converged blueprint or an XaaS blueprint?
