Birt parameter screen customization

joo

Hi there,

I have a query regarding the parameter screen that asks users to enter values before the report is shown. Can this screen be customized, say with a script to do the following ?

Assume there is a screen with 2 drop downs A and B.

1. User selects a value in drop down A.
2. Drop down B is populated based on what user select in A.
3. User selects drop down B.
4. Clicks ok.

The values in the second drop down B would depend on the value that the user selected in A.

I researched this a little but I have not found anything concrete. I know that drop downs can take dynamic values from a data set, but parametrization of the data set based on user input is something that I would like to do. Has anyone done this before ? Thanks

EDIT:

I am using BIRT 2.1.0. I cannot upgrade to a more recent version because a dependent product uses this version. The parameter screen I am talking about is the one that BIRT displays and not a custom parameter screen that can be displayed using BIRT java custom tags

Hi joo,

What you're talking about sound a lot like a cascading parameter. Is this not what you're wanting?
