Re: Changeing My Drop-Down List Upon Update

I have one idea. Let's take a set sample statuses here of (in order) New, Assigned, In Progress, Pending, Resolved, Closed to give ourselves a frame of reference. Let's suppose furthermore that your DDL is called ddlStatus

Depending on the source of your DDL options, one thing you can do is assign a number as the Value for each status. So

Value = 1, Display Name = New

Value = 2, Display Name = Assigned

Value = 3, Display Name = In Progress

Value = 4, Display Name = Pending

Value = 5, Display Name = Resolved

Value = 6, Display Name = Closed

You can set ddlStatus to have a default value of 1, then when you click Update, you can fire an Action Rule that sets ddlStatus.Value to ddlStatus.Value + 1

I'm not 100% sure of what this would look like in code, but the principle should work. Otherwise you have to create some kind of lookup table with values of Current Status and Next Status and God forbid that you need the ability to do something like be able to go from In Progress to either Pending or Resolved! I guess in that case, you have to have some other conditions to know which one you need to go to.

Good luck!
