Dynamic items in Multiple Choice

I want to get timeslots from my timetable. And show them as buttons in Multiple choice. How can I do this? I know only how to create buttons explicitly.

Hey while setting up a choice input card you can choose to create the options from a variable of type array

In the screenshots above, 
workflow.Options
is an array
Then you can use an execute code card to fetch time slots from wherever and set the variable to have dynamic options

Works like charm. Thank you, @freezing-elephant-85019 !
@freezing-elephant-85019 , is there a common way to route these results? Let's say the choice is 15:00, is there a common way to process this choice?

What do you mean by a common way?
Are you familiar with javascript? or coding?
it depends on what you want to do with the selection afterwards. Let's say `"15:00" `is selected, you can send it to your service as it is (as a 
string
) to book a slot, or format that as a valid date string and then process it. The latter would be considered ideal (or common) if that's what you mean

Thank you. I mean, in pre-input choices, I can attach arrows to every choice and process them. In this dynamic choice I have no exits in the node. I guess, I can use a code card and process the choice programmatically, and then use "always" router to move further
f
if by processing, you mean you want to add unicode arrows

or emojis, you can

Thank you! Will try working on that
