Hi

I have a dashboard with multiple dcc.dropdown(s). A total of 7 dropdowns. I need to collect the values selected in each drop down, put in a list and then process the list to print a long string (cancat of values) to a html.Label.

I am having hard time figuring out how to get all the ui(s) values to get passed on to the html.Label call back. I can only have one input?) or am I doing this wrong?

Thanks

Never mind … I got it figured out.

```
@app.callback(dash.dependencies.Output('my-list', 'children'),
[dash.dependencies.Input('dropdown1', 'value'),
 dash.dependencies.Input('dropdown2', 'value'),
 dash.dependencies.Input('dropdown3', 'value'),
 dash.dependencies.Input('dropdown4', 'value'),
 .
 .
 .
 ])

```

def update\_qry\_ebs1(\*args):  
arg\_dict = dict(  
my1 = args[0],  
my2 = args[1],  
my3 = args[2],  
my4 = args[3],  
.  
.  
.  
)  
return json.dumps(args, sort\_keys=True,indent=4, separators=(’,’, ': '))
