Layout Painter - Chaining single selection list box to multiple selection list box
I'm on release 7.6.4 in windows environment. I'm having difficulty chaining a single selection list box to multiple selection list box. When it executes, the single selection list box populates OK, but the multiple selection list box is just blank. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and is there a work around?
I have another launch page that chains between 3 single selection list boxes. I tried changing one of these boxes to Multiple, but it couldn't record the change (it wouldn't allow it).

hand edit the html file, on a working chain set, to add the word multiple.
but then don't open it in the tool again. Wink

Then in variables section,
<variable field="DW_FACT_CRP.PROJECT_KEY" file="dw_fact_crp.mas" desc="Please select one or more projects [optional)" datatype="1" operation="OR" default="" name="PROJECT_ID" textvarname="" accept="0" type="unresolved" select="1" min="" max="" controltype="9" create="1" runtimecache="0"></variable>

It looks like multiple is contained in the code.
