Dropdown Pixaroma

What it is for

Some values are long and you retype them constantly. A LoRA might want a whole sentence as its trigger. A look you like might be a paragraph of prompt.

Put them in this node once, give each one a short name, and after that you just pick the name. The node sends the long value on your behalf.

Setting it up

• Press the gear on the node, or right click it, to open the settings.
• An empty list offers Add your first entry. Fill in a short name and the value it stands for.
• The value box grows as you type, so a long sentence or several lines are fine.
• The + on a row adds another one below it, the ✕ removes that row, and the ⋮⋮ grip drags it up or down.
• Clear list at the bottom empties the whole list in one go, after asking. Export first if you might want it back.
• Close the settings. Your list is saved inside the workflow.

Choosing on the canvas

The node itself is one row, plus one read-only row per output when you use more than one. Click it to open your list, or use the ◀ and ▶ arrows to step through without opening anything.

The list shows just your names, sized so they fit, and its text follows your zoom so it stays in step with the node. Hold the mouse over an entry to peek at its value, or open the settings to see everything.

What comes out

Pick one of four in the settings, and the node's output says which one is active:

One pick, several values

An entry can carry up to four values at once. In the settings, set how many outputs you want, give each one a name, and every entry then holds one value per output. Picking an entry sets all of them together, and the node shows what it resolved to before you run anything.

This is what makes settings that belong together stay together. A sampler and its scheduler are the clearest case: some pairings work and some ruin the picture, so holding them as one named choice means you cannot accidentally mix a good sampler with the wrong scheduler.

• Each output has its own type, so you can mix text with numbers and on/off.
• Leave it on one output and the node behaves exactly as it always has.
• Turning the count down keeps the values you typed, in case you turn it back up.

Changing entry on its own each run

The small letter on the node says which entry it will send when you press Run, and you can click it to change: F, then I, then R, then back again. The same three buttons are in the settings under EACH TIME YOU RUN.

• F is drawn quietly since it is the normal way to work. I and R are filled in, because those change the value on you, and the name on the node then updates to whatever just ran.
• On I, picking an entry by hand takes over: the next run starts from what you chose and carries on from there. On R it only means that entry will not be the next one, since random is random.
• Exporting or saving your workflow does not move an in-order list along. Only a real run does.
• The position starts again from your chosen entry when you reload the page, which is also why running a workflow never marks it as changed.

F Fixed

Always the entry you picked. This is the default, and the node stays completely predictable.

I In order

The next entry down the list on each run, going back to the top after the last one. Good for working through a list of looks without touching anything.

R Random

Any entry each run, never the same one twice in a row.

It ignores what it is plugged into

The list and the type belong to this node. Wiring it somewhere else never changes them.

That is the difference from Control Panel Pixaroma, whose controls copy the type of whatever they are wired to. Use Control Panel when you want a dial for one specific input. Use this when you want your own named list that you can plug in anywhere.

Changing the type later

Nothing is ever deleted. If you switch a list of sentences to Whole number, your sentences stay exactly as you typed them, and the rows that are not numbers get a small warning mark. Those rows send 0 until you change them, and switching back to Text brings everything straight back.

Anything plugged into the output that no longer fits is unplugged, and the node tells you how many wires that was.

Comparing every entry at once

XY Plot Pixaroma can drive this node. Pick your Dropdown as an axis and tick the entries you want, and you get one square per entry with the names written along the edge.

That is the quick way to see four LoRA triggers side by side without wiring anything four times.

Sharing a list

• The list saves inside the workflow, so sending someone the workflow sends the entries with it.
• Export writes the list to a file. Import loads one back and replaces what is there.
• Copying the node copies its list too.
