    FilterOwssvr issue with repeating table in Browser enabled form

    Please refer to attached image file for the form layout and additional perspective on this post.

    Scenario:

    I have a web-based form that allows for the entry of various members of a groups sport wages . Someone should be able to select a sport and for the particular sport that is selected, select 3 teams from that sport to wage against. Upon selecting a team in any of the three fields, the odds are displayed at the right. So the group manager would input Player 1's 3 teams based on the sport selected for the group and the odds would display successfully for the 3 teams selected. The group manager would then move on to Player 2's selections and the same would follow.

    Preconditions:

    • Form is connected to a SharePoint list that contains all of the Sport, Team and Odds data 
    • The form is a web-based form
    • The form has been injected with qRules version 3.1.4101.21572

    Issues:

    1. The form is setup to utilize the qRules filterowssvr command. A selection in the sport selection field accurately displays the relevant teams in field 1 for player 1. The manager can then choose a team from the available list of selections and the Odds are displayed accurately. However, when the manager moves to the second drop-down to select a second team the only option that is available is the team that was selected in the firrst drop down.
    2. If the manager would like to select a different team in drop-down 1 (due to a transcription error, etc.), the manager is unable to do so as the only available options are the previous selection and a blank field. Selecting the blank field does nothing but make that the only available selection in the list
    3. there is no way to currently get Player 2 to link to Sport selected and follow the same process independent of Player 1's selections

    Comments:

    • Should current() be utilized and if so, how would it be used with the filterowssvr command? Examples would be value added.

    Hey there - I'm sorry about the delay!

    Can I get a screenshot of your data source that your controls are bound to - or better yet, could you send me your template? I'll email you through the forum so you have my email address.

    Your drop down box for Team1-3 and for Team2-3 are not set to use the filter owssvr data source for their entries - is that intentional? Your drop down list boxes are conditionally formatted - any chance that you are looking at the ones that don't use the data source and have no entries hard coded?

    Also, can you drag the z:row node from you FilterOwssvr data source onto your form while you preview it - see if the actual available values in your data source are changing? I see no logic that should cause those to change unless the Sport is changed.
