Need help with filtered list control on UX

[Tbrondolo]

I am trying to use the Dialog Object Filtered list and I just can't seem to get it to work. I keep getting javascript errors on the last line. Since I am using a date as the filter I have tried several variations as noted below. I even tried switching the filter to a straight character based field just to get it to work not on dates and still ended up the errors.

I can only think I am doing something wrong on creating the params filter.

Any help would be appreciated.

//with date in brackets and as a D type
var a_review_date ={dialog.Object}.getValue('review_date');
var params = '{'+a_review_date+'}'+'|||D|a_date' ;
alert(params);
{dialog.object}._filterList('Entered','actiondate=:a_date',,params);


// with date in brackets as a C type
var a_review_date ={dialog.Object}.getValue('review_date');
var params = '{'+a_review_date+'}'+'|||C|a_date' ;
alert(params);
{dialog.object}._filterList('Entered','actiondate=:a_date',,params);

// date not in brackets as a D type
var a_review_date ={dialog.Object}.getValue('review_date');
var params = a_review_date+'|||D|a_date' ;
alert(params);
{dialog.object}._filterList('Entered','actiondate=:a_date',,params);

// date not in brackets as a C type
var a_review_date ={dialog.Object}.getValue('review_date');
var params = a_review_date+'|||C|a_date' ;
alert(params);
{dialog.object}._filterList('Entered','actiondate=:a_date',,params);



Alpha prototype

//use \n to create a cr-lf delimited list
var params = 'Boston|||C|whatcity\nSmith|||C|whatname';
{dialog.object}._filterList('MYLIST1','city = :whatcity AND name = :whatname','',params);

Re: Need help with filtered list control on UX

you don't need to add curly brackets here:

var params = '{'+a_review_date+'}'+'|||D|a_date' ;

just do

var params = a_review_date+'|||D|a_date' ;

// date not in brackets as a D type
var a_review_date ={dialog.Object}.getValue('review_date');
var params = a_review_date+'|||D|a_date' ;
alert(params);
{dialog.object}._filterList('Entered','actiondate=:a_date',,params);

In the last line you have {dialog.object}._filterList('Entered','actiondate=:a_date',,params);
This should be {dialog.object}._filterList('Entered','actiondate=:a_date','',params); Note the single quotes as a place holder for the missing parameter.

Thanks that was it, I was missing the ''. Now it all works fine.

I go myself hung up on the date as an issue and did not see the obvious.

Thanks,
