Form - Initial Data - 'string' not 'object | void'

App Building
#1

Attempting to build out a form and provide query that will load content from a selection in a table.

When posting the query into the Initial Data field, I get:

I'm unsure how to change this from string to object....

Retool has a formatDataAsObject method, so something like: formatDataAsObject(table1.selectedRow.data)

@kevinl Welcome to the forum
Try wrapping the table1.selectedRow.data in formatDataAsObject( table1.selectedRow.data )

Thanks for the replies!

So, the original code in the tutorial I was using ( Create forms using the Form component (retool.com)) and modifying to my needs showed that Initial Data needed to be:

{
   {
       table1.selectedRow.data ? table1.selectedRow.data : null;
   }
}

after I played around with it, the following actually worked:

{{ table1.selectedRow.data ? table1.selectedRow.data : null }}
