Hi All
I have a dropdown list being populated via a SmartObject - the source data is from a SQL table.
Now I want to filter the data returned based on a parameter in the SQL table.
Is is possible to send a value to a dropdown list smartobject to achieve this?
I can see the option to filter based on another control but that only allows you to select another dropdown which isnt what I'm after.
thanks

Hi Paul,
Which version of K2 Smartforms are you currently using?

Hi Taariq
We are not running the latest version (1.0.4 I believe)
Since I made the post I managed to get round the issue by using the 'Populate a List Control with Data' rule. I just wondered if there was any direct method to pass a parameter to a dropdown list smartobject directly.
thanks

Hi Paul,
I do believe that the Drop-Down List control can be filtered when configuring the Datasource for the control - this is possible on SmartForms 1.0.4. Also, it is possible to filter Drop-down list 2 based on a value selected by Drop-Down List 1.

Hi Paul,
The way you have it with the populate rule is the correct way.
There is no way to pass a value into the drop-down control, you will need to repopulate the control.
You can set up an OnChange rule on another control and then configure the populate drop-down list control as an action which will re-populate your drop down with the correct values.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Have you managed to set up a filter for the drop-down list as yet?

I am guessing this was added in the newer version of SmartForms. I have only been using K2 for a few months now.
In case anyone runs across this thread:
You can filter a dropdown in the "populate dropdown list control with data" action, that is in the "When the View executed Initialize" rule
- Click on (configure)
- Click on the Filter button and add your filters
