 The URL and the called function have no parameter names any longer. All data is in the
 request message and can be extracted from this using json.loads. If more data is needed
 just add it to the json container. No further changes are needed. It's really simple :-)

+Now we add a dropdown menu and fill it with values from the InvenTree database.

+Here we create self.companies and fill it with all companies that have the is_supplier flag
+set to true. This is available in the context of the template. A drop down menu can be created
+by looping.

+{% endraw %}
+```
+
+The value of the select is the pk of the company. It can simply be added to the
+json container and transferred to the plugin.
