In a Select control for users names I load like this from a Http Response

ArrayLength "[HttpHomeGetUsers.Response]" "[TotalRecords]"
Dec "[TotalRecords]"
ArrayClear "[selectEmployee.Items]"
ArrayPush "[selectEmployee.Items]" ""
Loop "0" "[TotalRecords]" "[i]"
  NewObject "[Record]"
  ArrayGetItem "[HttpHomeGetUsers.Response]" "[i]" "[Record]"
  ObjectGetProp "[Record]" "user_name" "[user_name]"
  ArrayPush "[selectEmployee.Items]" "[user_name]"
EndLoop

After I select an item, I need to get the User Id from the array to use in other transactions. This is how I am doing that. This would be on the Select Change event

SetVar "[selectedIndex]" "[selectEmployee.ItemIndex]" "String"
Dec "[selectedIndex]" //i always put an empty item at the top of select
If "[selectedIndex]" ">=" "0"
NewObject "[userArrayRow]"
ArrayGetItem "[HttpHomeGetUsers.Response]" "[selectedIndex]" "[userArrayRow]"
ObjectGetProp "[userArrayRow]" "id" "[user_id]"
EndIf

Is this the only / best way to look up ID or other values for an array index?

Hello Ryan,

I am not sure if the creation of the "userArrayRow" with "NewObject" is really required, since you get that object just when calling "ArrayGetItem". But yes; basically the Select control is based in the items index, so, we must use that index in the "original array" in order to get more information in addition to that index.
