Combo Boxes in App Studio

I was able to get a UserCodes combo working but how do you get it to select the value of the record you’re looking at? Like, the EpiBinding record? When I go to my Details page the combo is not selected. If I drop it down, it does select the correct item and then stays selected but I think a user would be confused because it looks blank initially.

EDIT: I was able to figure this out by documenting all the greyed out settings from the canned UserCodes Reusable dropdown but this time didn’t choose the canned one but used settings from it I needed and changed the ones I needed to change… success!

@tpogue this is great reference material!
Have you ever figured out how to filter the UD Table on a different field?
I’m trying to display values in my combo box list based on OrderDtl.PartNum of an Order line.
I don’t feel it should be that difficult. Am I missing something?

Do you want to filter the UD table records based on OrderDtl.PartNum? If so, try creating a BAQ that gives the results you need (join OrderDtl to the UD table) and then create a combo box based on the BAQ instead of the UD table.

Yes, @tpogue that does work, but why not do it the hard way? :face_with_spiral_eyes:
it works in E10. Are we going backwards? Why do we need a middleman like a BAQ if we could deal straight with a Table?

Thank you for your answer and sorry for the delay.

There are lots of things we did in Classic that we can’t do in Kinetic. There are also new features in Kinetic but it often does seem like we’re stepping backwards. :woman_shrugging:
