A typical wiring for [dynamic select](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520ui/state_select_dynamic): [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `form_id` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `field` pin; [with values](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/array/array_of_values) feeds the `options` pin; the `state` out pin feeds [get component child](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%2520actions/state_component_get_child).
