Hi ,
I have a requirement where I need to set the value prompt options to be unavailable to the users.
for example .,  I have three value prompts , if I select first two value prompts then I need to set the third value prompt options to be unavailable (in grey ) but still I have to show the options there .
Conditions: these options are only be unavailable when the user selects only some options in the first two prompts and for others I need to show the third prompts options available.
If it is not clear please let me know and suggest how can it be done??

thanks,
KWAS04.

Can't be done with default settings.  You could fake it by conditionally (using a conditional block based on a variable driven by the other prompts) showing a text box with the value prompt items displayed at just text with a grey background, then showing an actual prompt otherwise.

This can only be achieved with JavaScript, I have similar requiremnts in Past.
There is no out of box work around in Cognos without using JavaScript.

Hi Rahul,
Yes, I think it can only be done with javascript, if you have that script with you , can you please share with me.
