Using input values which are not part of the callback inputs

Dash Python
1

I have two input fiels in my application. In my callback to generate the value for Output(“output”, “children”), both values from the inputs shall be used (Input(“input1”, “value”), Input(“input2”, “value”).
But i want, that the function is only triggered by input1 and not both inputs (input1 and input2).

hi @Robert2
:wave: welcome to the Dash Community.

What you’re looking for is ‘State’:

from dash import Output, Input, State

[...]

@app.callback(
    Output(),
    Input(),
    State()
)
def somethingCoolWillHappen(input_value, state_value):
    return coolThing

You can read more about State in the docs.
