displayText of multi valued parameters
mailtorake
Greetings,
I have a multi valued parameter (say Names) in my report that has displayTexts (obtained dynamically) as follows:
This is a listbox allowing multiple selections
Name1 (Each display text has an underlying value like 1000)
Name2 (underlying value is 1001)
Name3 (underlying value is 1002)
....etc
In my report page, I would like to show user selections; how can I display the displayTexts of all those selections?
Any kind of help or pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,<br />
<br />
You should be able to iterate through the array of selected parameters and grab the display text of each and make a string out of them to display much like the multi select parameter values are stepped through to be used in an IN clause in a query.<br />

Hi Michael,<br />
Thanks for the reply once again, but I am looking for displayText, not the value.<br />
I used params[param_name in double quotes].displayText[0] to test the first one, but displayText doesn't seem to work and I get the following error.<br />
<br />
There are errors evaluating script "params["Campaign"].displayText[1]":<br />
TypeError: Cannot read property "1.0" from null (<inline>#1)<br />
<br />

Unfortunately, I don't see another way to get at this value. In the bug report, it looks like it says they won't fix this and closed it. I would suggest logging another bug on this issue at <a class='bbc_url' href='
