Another Drop-Down list issue

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I am encountering a small issue when using a drop-down list in a Visual Composer Model and apparently so is everyone else!

I have created an input form and linked the output to the Variables node on a backend data system query object. The drop-down list is matched to a characteristic in the query and, when initially selected, shows all of my available choices. After selecting once of the choices, however, only that option is available for selection. This causes an obvious problem if I want to rerun the form with different parameters.

I also have a general question. How would one allow for multiple entries from the drop-down list? My drop-down list is for different geographical regions, and the reporting can be based on one or more regions at a time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and points will be readily rewarded for any helpful leads.

Govindu,

Great, now I think we are getting somewhere. I have changed over the the Flex2 compiler, but now my value in my drop-down box is not holding once I make a selection. I can still see all of my selections if I click to choose again, but after a second or so the option I choose disappears from the selection as if I never chose it. Any thoughts on this one?

I have not yet gotten a chance to try the second suggestion. I will do that and get back to you.

Thanks again,

Govindu,

Yes, the other options disappear when I choose one of the options. I went back and used an input box with a pushbutton next to it that fires a popup to choose my selection and noticed if I want to change my selection I have to clear out the text box or the popup will only return the value I selected. Seems like it is filtering the query data even before I hit Submit!

I am using SP 15 and using the Flash compiler.

Is there any way to make multiple selections as per my case? Perhaps with a formula to concatenate all of the choices together somehow?

Thanks again for the response,

Hi,

For Fisrt issue try with Flex2 Compiler it may solved there .

Even with Flex2 also if itwas happening ,Reproduce the issue with small model then you can find out the reason very easily.

For second issue.

yes you can do the concatenation od the values you selcted in the Dropdown using Data store .

Steps:

1.Add a data store to the Formview and a Toolbar button with action daat store

2.Add the field (For ex:bank_id)which one you want to concatenate to the data store

3.then click on the line Connecting b/w the data store and the form and assaign the value like :@[xxxx] bank_id+ ";"+[xxxx]bank_id.

4.add a Expression field of text type to the Form view and assaign the value Store@Bank_id.

5.Choose the value and then click on the data store .

Then all the concatenated values will appear in the Expression field.
