Hey all,

Here's what I'm trying to do:

I've got an HTML form that has 7 filter controls that all populate via external procedures, and are chained in the following order:

fiscal year -> fiscal week -> division -> district -> banner -> store -> department

My project lead wants the filters to work insomuch that once selections have been made by the user and reports/graphs are updated, the user can select a different fiscal week but keep their selections they've already made down the chain. Currently when a user selects what they want to see and then goes to switch to a different fiscal week, all other controls down the chain dynamically revert back to their "ALL" selection state. We want what the user had already selected to stay put.

Anyone here know if that type of functionality is possible? (without killing the chaining)

Thanks in advance!

Yes, have two chains! Chains do not have to have the entire collection of combo boxes chained in a single chain.

Just go to the parameter tab in HTML composer and break the chain between fiscal week and division.

Sometimes we look too hard for a solution that is staring us in the face. We just need to take a step back (or a break!!) and look again Smiler

Glad you got to make it work for you Smiler
