Hi,

I've tried to create a dlink (unsuccessfully) to transfer data from a text field into a Dlist Formatted Item field in the SAME cube.  The link executes fine, but doesn't transfer the data.  I did read that it's because of the ID, but is there any other way to get the data from the text field into the dlist formatted field in the same cube?

Thank you.
Gina

No there isn't. You need to used a dList formatted cell to link into a dList formatted cell.
Why do you want to link a freetext into a dList formatted cell?

Thanks, I didn't think so.  I wa trying to do that because the user didn't fill in the field, so I wanted to default it for them.  I'll take care of it manually.  Thank you, and enjoy your holiday!
