help with Dddw_Where in T_REFERENCE_TABLES

I have created a custom table that I want to make available to users as a System Table. We are storing budget information for each prod_season_no and I want my users to be able to choose a production from a dropdown instead of relying on IT to provide the list of prod_season_no values.

I have added a season_no column to my custom table with the intent of letting users choose the season from a dropdown and then populating the prod_season_no values from another dropdown, just like in a Report. This will ensure that they choose the correct prod_season_no because we have many instances of the same production title being used in multiple seasons (though of course with unique prod_season_no values).

However, I am having trouble getting the Dddw_Where value for the prod_season_no column entry in T_REFERENCE_TABLES to "see" the selected value of the season_no column. What I want to do is the following:

 

column name: prod_season_no

Dddw_Table: t_inventory

Dddw_Value: inv_no

Dddw_Description: description

Dddw_Where: inv_no IN (select prod_season_no from t_prod_season where season = !.season_no)

 

This does not work. I am looking for a way to reference the selected season_no value. Any help on this matter would be very much appreciated.

  • Hi Christian,

    Could you please elaborate? I still do not understand how, even if the data
    was being pulled from a view, how the Dddw_Where for the prod_season_no
    column can refer to the value of the season_no column in my custom table.

    Would you please provide the value for the Dddw_Where of my prod_season_no
    column? Thanks!
  • Just a clarification here that it is not possible to have dropdowns dependent on other column values in standard or custom System Tables. You can probably develop a custom tab at the Production Season level in Production Elements to facilitate your needs.
