How can I set multiple properties when a value is selected from a Dropdown control?
Hi,
I need to have a dropdown with Clipboard page (page list property) source. When the user selects a value, I need to set multiple properties from the selected item.
Example: I have a list with Items with this structure: [Name, Code, Value] . I need to display to the user a drop-down with the names of the items and, when the user selects a Name, I want to set both the Code & Value to some properties.
Can you help me understand what dropdown-like control can I use to achieve this behavior?
Thank you

Hi Ioana,
To meet your requirement, you could use the dropdown control itself. You could add an action in the actions tab, to set the required properties, on change. (On Change --> Set Value).

You can also run a data transform if you need the capability to parameterize this.

Hi
Which version you are on ?
Also, instead of using dropdown have you considered using multiselect grid ?

Hi,
I know I can do with Data Transform, but I don't like this solution as I would have to then search through the page list to find the record (page) to use as source for the other properties.
We managed to do this by using the auto-complete control with page list property as source, if we define the page list property as Code-Pega-List on the Pages and Classes tab.
We would have liked to have a similar behavior for the drop-down.
