7.6.4 - chaining and populating multi select list boxes
Is anyone haveing an issue with this? We have 3 list boxes that are each populated with their own specific fex. They are also chained. This works wonderfully under 7.6.1, but under 7.6.4 the same code doesn't populate the 2nd and 3rd box in the chain. If I remove the chaining the list boxes get populated. Of course we need to have the chaining.

any suggestions?

Haven't done much chaining, but the one test I have works. Of course in it I have only two fields chained to each other.

i had the same problem when using this in the painter in 764, i gave up im afraid, i couldn't work out what was causing it but found that as soon as i chained two together they lost their data.

Laure: Something I just learned about yesterday that may help though I haven't needed it myself, yet.
It worked for the person who passed it to me:
"there is a case out there where you have to go into the html and turn runtimecache to 0"

Laure,

We were having an issue with a similar situation. When we right-clicked on an image and went to the properties, it was removing the MULTIPLE keyword from our listboxes. IBI said that it is a bug and will be fixed in a future release.

Also, we were having an issue with chaining list boxes that required a new ibirls2.js file hotfix from IBI. IBI also indicated that upgrading to 7.6.3 client (not server) would resolve the issue.

As an interim you could set your HTML page to point at IBIRLS.js instead of IBIRLS2.js.

It has less functionality than the later version but is supplied to provide backward capability (I think) and therefore should function mostly?

It might be worth a try until you get a fix.

We experiencing the same problem, it seems like it was working in 7.6.2 but with 7.6.4 the multi selection on chaining doesn't work and gives a javascript runtime error.

I tried solution suggested in post above and they didn't work:
1. turn runtimecache to 0
2. Also tried changing to IBIRLS.js instead of IBIRLS2.js.

Please keep sending your comments !!

Thanks,

Found a bug in 7.6.4 - one of my teammate found the issue.

IN WF 764 - the SELECT tag for the chained parameter is set to Operation, it should have been Operation="OR"
- When we change operation to operation="OR" it fixes the issue and multi select in chain works.
