Multi Row variable set introduced in London version not compatible with Lookup field's Reference qualifier

ajitmundhekar · ‎01-03-2019

Area: Service Catalog

Component: Multi-Row Variable Set

Version: London

Requirement:

Multi-Row Variable set has a two variables of type "Lookup Select Box". The dropdown list of 2nd fields should be displayed depending on the option selected in 1st field. Accordingly, 2nd field's configuration is as follows:

Reference qualifier: javascript: 'first_field_name='+current.variables.first_field_name;

Variable attributes: ref_qual_elements=first_field_name

Issue:

2nd field does not considers the options which is selected in 1st field after form is loaded. It always considers the default selected option of 1st field which is set at the time of form load.

PS: Above configuration works perfectly with Single-Row Variable set.

Thanks & Regards,

So I was wondering about this since I read it.
I had to give it a try and I have to say you're really close.

That feature 'ref_qual_elements' is really buried in the docs but here's what I did to set it up and get it to work.

I created a multirow aka table variable set called "multirow_variable_set" with 4 questions with four questions but for this I just used 2.
On my string variable called "question_2" I don't have to do anything
On my reference variable called "user" set the reference qualifier to "javascript: 'emailSTARTSWITH' + current.variables.question_2;"
Also on the reference variable called "user" set the variable attribute to: "ref_qual_elements=multirow_variable_set"

With all that if you need more, information let me know.

Multirow variable sets in my opinion are weird how they work, cause onchange client scripts are weird cause I can't get them to work.

Thanks for the reply Jacebenson.

But it is still not working for me after updating variable attributes to 'ref_qual_elements=multi_row_vs' //'multi_row_vs' being my Multi row variable set name.

Also, wanted to add up that my "User" field is actually of type "Lookup Select Box" & not "Reference".

Let me know if your approach also works for "Lookup Select Box" type fields.
