# Interface: MetadataFormulaObjectResultType

Defined in: [api.ts:1784](https://github.com/coda/packs-sdk/blob/847d13d5a58c742cf00b61d2f56f80ad74747aee/api.ts#L1784)

The return type for a metadata formula that should return a different display to the user than is used internally.

## Properties

### display

> **display**: `string`

Defined in: [api.ts:1786](https://github.com/coda/packs-sdk/blob/847d13d5a58c742cf00b61d2f56f80ad74747aee/api.ts#L1786)

The value displayed to the user in the UI.

### hasChildren?

> `optional` **hasChildren**: `boolean`

Defined in: [api.ts:1817](https://github.com/coda/packs-sdk/blob/847d13d5a58c742cf00b61d2f56f80ad74747aee/api.ts#L1817)

If true, indicates that this result has child results nested underneath it. This option only applies to [DynamicSyncTableOptions.listDynamicUrls](../DynamicSyncTableOptions/#listdynamicurls). When fetching options for entities that can be used as dynamic URLs for a dynamic sync table, some APIs may return data in a hierarchy rather than a flat list of options.

For example, if your dynamic sync table synced data from a Google Drive file, you might return a list of folders, and then a user could click on a folder to view the files within it. When returning folder results, you would set `hasChildren: true` on them, but omit that on the file results.

Leaf nodes, that is those without `hasChildren: true`, are ultimately selectable to create a table. Selecting a result with `hasChildren: true` will invoke `listDynamicUrls` again with `value` as the second argument.

That is, your dynamic sync table definition might include:

```
listDynamicUrls: async function(context, parentValue) {
  ...
}
```

`parentValue` will be undefined the initial time that `listDynamicUrls` is invoked, but if you return a result with `hasChildren: true` and the user clicks on it, `listDynamicUrls` will be invoked again, with `parentValue` as the `value` of the result that was clicked on.

### value

> **value**: `string` | `number`

Defined in: [api.ts:1788](https://github.com/coda/packs-sdk/blob/847d13d5a58c742cf00b61d2f56f80ad74747aee/api.ts#L1788)

The value used for the formula argument when the user selects this option.
