  • 1.  MultiStyleHTMLDropdown - is there a display value?

    Posted 04/05/22 09:36 AM
    Hi!

    I am using the extension MultiStyleHTMLDropdown, and it works nicely except I want to use the 'display' value and not the 'id', similar to the 'value prompt'. 

    Is this possible?

    Hi Mary,

    If you are a Javascript developer, you will find useful information in the following document:
    Scriptable Reports 

    In the samples (in v11.2.1), I believe the 'display' value are used in the qryList:
    • [Product line] in ( ?pPl? )
    • [City] in (?pCity?) 

    Best regards,

    Hi Patrick, 

    Thanks for the response, I appreciate it.

    I just fixed my issue, I was using a parameter previously defined as integer. 
    I was able to use the html extension in my report to create nice html prompt dropdowns, as well as the 'hide filter panel' control, since we have too many report filters. Trying to emulate a dashboard functionality.
