Multiple child in cascading param group [message #722791] Tue, 06 September 2011 17:49 Go to next message

Hi

I'm trying to create a cascade param group with 3 widgets (let's say A,B and C). A is a list drop-down. B and C are multi-value list-boxes.

What I wanted was on change of A, I want to cascade it to B and C both at the same time.

Currently I'm able to attain the widgets and the values properly. But the only issue is with the hierarchy. The Cascade param group probably takes C as a child of B instead of A. Thus C is updated only when there's any change on B.

Is it the behavior implemented purposefully? Is there any solution or a work-around to attain the above?

Please let me know if I need to explain more.

That is the way it currently works. I do not know of a work around
aside from creating your own parameter page.

Thanks a lot Jason. Also out of curiosity, is there any way of achieving this through extending the event handlers in this case? If yes, would still like to know your recommendation on this.

Not that I know of. One way may be to modify the AJAX js files that
update the parameter boxes. I believe each level is updated using the
__refresh_cascade_select script function in BirtParameterDialog.js file.
You can use firebug or just simple alerts in this file to see when the
lists are getting updated.
