Get Pop-up Field Options from PIO

[AlHanson]

Anybody have an approach for getting the options from a pop-up field in a Plug In Object? vs.PopupGetChoices doesn't appear to work with hidden parametric records from everything I've been throwing at it. Tried both field name and localized field names and I always get 0 for the number of values and None for the list returned when used on a PIO Record. Works fine on standard record definitions in the resource browser. This command didn't exist before v2023 so there has to be an alternate approach I'm overlooking... I hope?

Actually, just figured it out! If anybody else needs the help in the future:

Use vs.NumCustomObjectChoices to loop through the index range and vs.GetLocalizedPluginChoice to get the values at that index.

Here's how I get the items that are in a popup. i also use this flow to clear out popups and repopulate them with new values. 

 

popupItems = []
ok, parmid = vs.vsoPrmName2WidgetID('', 'Product')
popupCnt = vs.vsoWidgetPopupGetCnt(parmid)
for i in range(popupCnt):
  popupItems.append(vs.vsoWidgetPopupGet(parmid, i))

vs.AlrtDialog(str(popupItems))
