Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Apps Chat V1 Client class SelectionType.

The format for the items that users can select. Different options support different types of interactions. For example, users can select multiple checkboxes, but can only select one item from a dropdown menu.

Each selection input supports one type of selection. Mixing checkboxes and switches, for example, isn't supported. Google Workspace add-ons and Chat apps:

For Google Workspace add-ons, you must populate items using a static array of SelectionItem objects. For Google Chat apps, you can also populate items using a dynamic data source and autosuggest items as users type in the menu. For example, users can start typing the name of a Google Chat space and the widget autosuggests the space. To dynamically populate items for a multiselect menu, use one of the following types of data sources:

• Google Workspace data: Items are populated using data from Google Workspace, such as Google Workspace users or Google Chat spaces.
• External data: Items are populated from an external data source outside of Google Workspace. For examples of how to implement multiselect menus for Chat apps, see Add a multiselect menu. Google Workspace add-ons and Chat apps:
