Title: Value prompt with defined values
Post by: Dampa on 10 Aug 2020 11:29:21 AM
Dear all,

I'm trying to build a prompt page in order to have a drop down list (multi selection).
I could create a query to get the possible values, but then this is slowing down the prompt page.

Considering that these values will not change over time, I find more appropriate to have a pre-defined list of values.

At the moment I created a text box prompt, indicating possible values that can be written.

I'd like to have those values displayed in a list. Is this possible?

Thanks a lot,
D

Why not a value prompt with static choices?

Hi dougp,

I have been googling for a long time yesterday with different key words, but not knowing this specific function and name, I was not able to find it.

Thanks a lot for the hint, I've been able to build the prompt.

Kind regards,
D
