Cascade Parameters

snelligan

Birt Version 2.6.1

I have a report with a cascading parameter group.

1st parameter is a dynamic list of categories with a default value of **ALL**
2nd parameter is a dynamic list of shops with a default value of ** (with Allow Multiple Values)

When I run the report, the 1st Cascading Parameter defaults to **ALL** and I can select one of the values in the list. There is NO blank value. The 2nd parameter contains a blank line and then "**ALL**" selected as the default value.

After selecting the 1st parameter, the 2nd parameter list is populated with the available shops for the selected category. There is a blank option followed by **ALL** and then the list of shops available for the select category. "**ALL** is no longer selected as the default; and there is a blank element.

HOW DO I GET RID OF THE BLANK ELEMENT IN THE 2ND PARAMETER LIST?

If it is selected, I get an error "Value of reported parameter [Shop] is not specified; even if I select several elements.

Thanks in advance for any assistance

Is it checked to be required?
