    🔧 A new widget (UI element to be used in the C1 Console UI for C1 Function configuration or forms) allow you to expose the tree structure from an Element Provider for element selection. The provider used, what property is selected and filters are configured as parameters to the widget.

    Parameters:

    • ElementProvider: Required. The name of a tree element provider (as defined in Composite.config)
    • SelectableElementReturnValue: Required. The name of the element field whose value to return for selection. Typical values here can be DataId (for data trees), Uri (for linkable elements), or EntityToken (for any element). Element providers may provide more fields.
    • SelectableElementPropertyName: An element must have this field to be selectable.
    • SelectableElementPropertyValue: The value of the property optionally used (if provided) to further identify a selectable tree element by. Seperate multiple values with spaces.
    • SerializedSearchToken: A search token, seriallized, to filter which tree elements is shown. To filter what is selectable, use the 'Selection filter' properties.
    • Required: Boolean. An option that indicates whether the user is required to make a selection.

    Element property names and search tokens depend on what you need and what the element provider is exposing.
