How To: Kinetic Selectable List

Updated for 2025.2 01/1/2026 Hey-diddly-ho-neighborino’s! I haven’t done one of these in a while, so I thought I share a How To on how to create a selection list in Kinetic. You may be familiar with these from various attribute screens within Epicor and equally frustrated at the fact that you have to customize it yourself to get it into classic. [image] Well, the day has finally come where Epicor has a native control for it now! In this example, I’m going to show how to select States that…

I have set up the list and it populates data as expected. When I select an item it populates on the opposite side of the selection pane:

However, I cannot get it to populate the text field I wish to populate. When I save and refresh the page nothing changes and nothing is added to the field I have in the EpBinding field for the selection list:

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

[dcamlin (David Camlin)]

Its not the EpBinding that gets populated… it is Target View and Code Col in the Dataview properties of the selection list.

[dgreenEA (Dylan Green)]

Thanks for the quick response! I think I have that bit set up right for the list. I’m trying to follow this bit from the original post:

Not sure how that interaction works.

[dcamlin (David Camlin)]

Well, it looks like I can get that to work if I DON’T do the Dataviews route… just playing around:

I bound the text box and selection list to TransView.MyList2

In the Items properties, I built a quick static list (A, B, & C).

Results:
As I make selections in the options, they get added to the delimited list:

[dcamlin (David Camlin)]

Oh… nevermind… it works for me in both styles:

[d_inman (David Inman)]

That original post was written for an earlier version and they’ve since changed how the Target behaves. As @dcamlin pointed out, you have to put your text field as the target. But you also want that text field as the binding, because that is what will display on the screen your selections for that record after you save it (i.e. when you come back to that record later).

[dcamlin (David Camlin)]

Ugh… sorry, I’m getting my wires crossed…

I have my selection list (the one on the left) bound to TransView.ListResult
… But my TARGET is TransView.MyList

I added (2) textboxes… note that that TARGET gets populated, but not the epBinding:

So… with my OTHER selection list, I’m back to thinking that binding only works (as the “target”) when you use the static “Items” list.

[d_inman (David Inman)]

Binding worked for me when I did this just last month using a UD table for my list (so users can maintain it) that I pull in through a dataview into the selection list and then it writes to a UD field when saved.

Notably, that is different than a TransView, but also not a static list.

[dcamlin (David Camlin)]

But your binding is the same as your target… so, which one is it really looking at/using?

[d_inman (David Inman)]

That was the only way I could get it to work (did it that way based on a newer post I found here; I’ll see if I can relocate it). During my development, I had a text box in there to my UD field and I would see the changes. Forget exactly how I had binding setup, but at one point I had two text boxes for testing purposes where one would show updated changes as I made different selections in the list and then my UD field one would update with what was selected at time of saving the record.

Edit: oh, the post that directed me that way was the very last one on the same thread OP linked to. How To: Kinetic Selectable List - #25 by victorcarabez
