Nested Parameters using Bound List

Hello We are trying to build a CV where we need two parameter selections by the user. The first parameter selection needs to be passed into the second parameter. The second parameter is configured ...

Hi AkshayBhatia 

It looks like you are executing your nested parameters outside a dashboard / components?

If so this is expected behaviour because you are not receiving a parameter prompt selection, it is not resolving.

If you move your two parameters (not sure what the first one is) to a dashboard and trigger a refresh between the component with parameter 1 e g combo box to the dashboard with your second component e.g combo box with your parameter 2 (that depends on parameter 1 result), it should resolve

Hope this helps

Hi Sam,

      I notice that you have worked a lot of parameters.  I have about the same as your example except they are list boxes . So taking it out from left  and move it to the right. For some reason the Dashboard Dataset is being called thrice when I set the paramter in a Dashboard Extender. The paramater has a value but drops the value the third time. 

I do about the same thing as you have shown in the Tree Object example. Except I have 2 list boxes here. Any help would be appreciated. 

Thank You,

Indu

    Hi Indu

    It's not very clear what you are trying to achieve based on your explanation.  Can I suggest you create a separate post for your different use case (to above) and provide screenshots of your setup; what is being refreshed and what you are using the DDS Business Rule to populate

    Alternatively, if you raise a ticket with support you can get help from me or one of my colleagues in Remote Consulting, to assist you with your development issue.  Please note that this will be considered billable.

    Thanks

        ok, i am still not too clear on what your setup is (I recommend you add more detail to your other post e.g. screenshots, code snippets, explanation if you want more assistance generally).  But maybe you are over-complicating things by trying to emulate the Multi-Select Tree View (MSTV) example as that solution was built to overcome the fact that with Tree Views, you only get a single select, out-of-the-box.  With List / Combo-Boxes there is already an out out-of-the-box Multi-Select option in the Display Format property for those components.  So potentially your solution could be simplified?  Have you tried logging the variables you need through your Dashboard Business Rules?  If you are using the MSTV approach the order of operations is Dashboard Extender, Dashboard DataSet, Dashboard XFBR
