combobox

combobox is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mendix/web-widgets. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,353 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for configuring a searchable dropdown, also called a picker or select box. It covers choosing one or more values from associations, enumerations, booleans, database lists, or fixed values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or changing a form field for selecting an object, enumeration value, boolean, or several related objects.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right data source and input control instead of using a dropdown where another control is clearer. It also explains when a searchable or multi-select control is appropriate.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

combobox scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Combo box

Searchable dropdown for picking one or several options. Options can come from an association, an enumeration or boolean attribute, a database list, or a fixed list of static values.

When to use

  • Use Combo box when the user picks a value in a form from a list of options: an associated object, an enumeration value, a boolean, or a fixed set of values.
  • Use Combo box when the list is long or the user needs to search in it. It filters as the user types and loads options lazily.
  • Use Combo box when the user must pick several objects for a reference set.
  • Prefer radio buttons when there are only 2 to 4 options and all of them should be visible at once.
  • Prefer a check box for a single yes/no boolean, unless the user asks for a dropdown.
  • Do not use Combo box to browse, compare or act on records. Use Data grid 2 or Gallery for that.

Choosing the data source

Decide source first. Every other property depends on it.

The user wants to pick... source Then set
An associated object (one, or several) context optionsSourceType = association
A value of an enumeration attribute context optionsSourceType = enumeration
Yes/No for a boolean attribute context optionsSourceType = boolean
Objects from a list, without an association to set database optionsSourceDatabaseDataSource
One of a few fixed values written at design time static staticAttribute + optionsSourceStaticDataSource

Recipes

Pick one associated object

  • source = context, optionsSourceType = association
  • attributeAssociation = a reference (one-to-many or one-to-one) from the context entity
  • optionsSourceAssociationDataSource = the selectable objects
  • optionsSourceAssociationCaptionType = attribute, optionsSourceAssociationCaptionAttribute = a String attribute of the target entity

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
