Dropdown Pixaroma

Dropdown Pixaroma is the node for the thing you keep retyping. LoRA trigger words, that long lighting sentence, the five step counts you actually use, a yes/no - anything you paste from memory more than once deserves to live in one of these.

The idea is dead simple: each entry is a short name and the value it stands for. You type "warm light" as the name and the long sentence as the value, and from then on picking "warm light" sends the sentence. Open the gear on the node, type your entries, and choose what the node sends out: text, a whole number, a decimal, or on/off. The output renames itself to match, so you can see at a glance what a connection carries, and the node refuses a connection that wouldn't fit the type.

The letter that picks for you

The small letter on the node body decides which entry goes out each run, and you click it to change it:

• F (fixed) - keeps the entry you picked.
• I (increment) - steps to the next entry every run, cycling.
• R (random) - picks any entry, handy for trying a whole list of looks without touching anything between runs.

The list and its type belong to this node, unlike Control Panel Pixaroma (which copies whatever you plug it into), so you can plug a Dropdown in anywhere. XY Plot Pixaroma can also drive it, giving you one grid square per entry with the names written along the edge.

Outputs and niceties

There's a single output - value - whose kind follows the type you set. Values that won't read as the chosen type get flagged rather than silently changed, and your text is always kept if you switch type. The whole list saves inside the workflow, so sharing the workflow shares your entries, and Export/Import move a list between workflows.

Install

The node ships in the Pixaroma pack: ComfyUI Manager → search Pixaroma → install → restart, or:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://gitlab.com/pixaroma/comfyui-pixaroma.git

No dependencies, no models - it's pure utility. If the node looks blank or stale after an update, hard-refresh your browser tab (Ctrl+Shift+R, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac); the browser caches old node visuals and that's the usual cause.

Reach for this one when a prompt fragment or trigger word keeps getting mistyped across your workflows. It's the rare node that saves you more time the more workflows you build.
