I use some dropdown boxes for filtering a list control. They are set to allow multiple selections and maximum choice is set to zero to show all choices. The UX component has some other controls that are bound to a table so that they can be updated with a Submit command. The dropdown boxes are set not to be updateable and are unbound.
My issue is that if I run an action to populate my bound fields from a selection in my list control, that action sets the selections in my unbound dropdown boxes fields to empty. I have some other unbound fields I also use to filter my list control, but they are not dropdown boxes and those do NOT get set to empty when I run the Populate action.
This is giving me grief because there are times that I use a Refresh action to refresh my whole list control (because some things user can do may cause changes to more than one record in the list control), which brings back all the records in the list. But I also have a button for them to 'Resubmit Search' that is expecting dropdown boxes I use for filtering to still contain data that was entered in them before the populate and refresh actions.
ANYWAY, my main question is ..... WHY does the action to populate bounds fields from the list control ALSO cause unbound dropdown boxes to be set to empty??
BTW, I have not updated Alpha since April of 2015 because it has been working just fine for my needs and I have not wanted to chance rattling anything with an upgrade...
