Create state description options from .map file possible?

Setup, Configuration and Use Items & Sitemaps

Hi guys,

I use OH 4.2.2 Release Build…

I was tired of empty WLED presets, when device is offline, so I created a rule which loads the presets.json when device is online and extracts presetnumber and presetname to a .map file… this works ok so far…

I added a state description to the belonging wled preset item and bound the mapfile as pattern. This also works like expexted!

pattern:

MAP(uplightpresets.map):%s

But here is where I struggle:

I’m trying to fill the state descripion options (MainUI) with the content from the mapfile. Is this even possible in some kind of way?

I tried something like:
options:

="@transform/uplightpresets.map"

=(MAP(uplightpresets.map))

and similar syntax patterns but with no luck :frowning:

any thoughts on that? …and if this isn’t possible at all, shouldn’t it be implemented to bind mapfiles as a list maybe?

Just bumping this topic — is there currently any way to achieve this? Otherwise, these options need to be added and translated again for each individual item.
