Hi there, We are looking to update all of our customisations to Kinetics (10.2.700.16) and I’m experiencing a strange issue. I’ve managed to bind a ComboBox to values and link UD Codes to the dropdown values, but when I preview the changes, the bindings show but I can’t see the actual text. Examples: ![Example](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/1/e/1e4a26e9d442e0d703f6a99312ffb57ca42d1d18.jpeg) ![Example1](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/f/9/f9a399c526974f73941990ca244c43101b5694e7.jpeg) Is this something that anyone else has found to be an issue, and if so, is it fixed in later versions? On a separate note, is there any documentation that I can use when building Kinetic customisations, as at the moment I am going in blind and just hoping that the functionality I build works. I’ve found bits and pieces here and there but nothing that I can use as a foundation. ---

This is happening to me too but I’m unsure why. I assumed I was not referencing what to display correctly, but I also haven’t been able to find any documentation on the components. ---

Yes Thanks Jose. I did follow your solution but the combobox returns ALL UD codes, not just the filter… BAQ as a validation ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/e/3/e32e26c272658e6ab049e4b1f74df50b2ccab3b4.png) ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/6/2/6270242529fd9f08f7348c17d0e352a660c91aaa.png) ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/a/6/a686d00d44afa458d1e565f1a29cb50588f609b0.png) Any suggestions ???

I had a typo in my screen shot, try setting the Filters Parms as ```auto CodeTypeParam=REPL ``` ---

FYI can also be found on the Kinetic help by searching for the ’ Adding a Combo Box to List UD Codes in Part Maintenance’ category! ---

Can you filter to only display UDCodes.IsActive = true records? I tried the “Filters Append” property under the “Filter Params”. But, both “UDCodes.IsActive=true” and “IsActive=true” display an error similar to: Invalid column name ‘IsActive’. ---

Hi there, I am also facing a similar issue but on List Combo (hard coded values “Approved” and “Rejected”) in a grid. ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/6/6/66f50ad2c29efba758c6409ed90c601fbb78539c.png) ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/c/d/cd3449bc3644819d1265ff13ec55ed8e5cfdc823.png) Any ideas?

@JohnPW2438 Hi John! Were you able to get this to work? I’m trying to work through this same thing! Can you filter to only display UDCodes.IsActive = true records? I tried the “Filters Append” property under the “Filter Params”. But, both “UDCodes.IsActive=true” and “IsActive=true” display an error similar to: Invalid column name ‘IsActive’. ---

The reason filters append and search filter doesn’t work is because it applies the filter to both where clauses. ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/6/d/6d3d1b7940b02982494dc65817505385f6e72516.png) It passes a where clause statement for both the UDCodeType table and the UDCodes table. UDCodeType doesn’t have the IsActive field so it fails. Using a BAQ as a data source will work. ---

Yes, you can filter only the UDCodes.IsActive = true records. User Codes: ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/3/6/362fb9b78884f127a7e20a0597c6e2dcc1b2f159.png) 1. Go To Reusable Combo 2. Set **Hidden Column Append** 3. Go to Advanced and Set **Row Filter** 4. Preview it. ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/4/6/460baafd826d4e4433a01647c6037e326bdc159a.png) ---

You would think the IsActive would be default functionality… Thank for this!
