Pega Dropdowns
I have a dropdown with Property name Status.. and dropdown values are Open, Pending, and Complete. I have a OnChange trigger activity configured on Status Property.
Initial value of Status is Open. User 1 from Assignment 1, changed it to Pending. Now, User 2 from Assignment 2, also want to select Pending.
Since, User1 and User 2 are both selecting "Pending", Pega is not treating it as "Change".. and my OnChange won't trigger the Activity.
Shouldn't Pega have a OnSelect action for dropdowns?
Or any workaround ideas?
PS: I can't use OnClicks for my use case.

Is it the same property (within same context) referenced on both the assignments? If they are part of different context then on change event should capture it both the time. can you share more detail?

Same Property and context.
More details: I used Split-For-Each to create multiple assignments.

Also, please check what is the value of the status that has been set in the clipboard.
You could also try to add Post value as an action before calling the activity.

Hi
What is the difference in your On change activity based on if Pending is selected on Assignment 1 or Assignment 2?
Based on your scenario, yes the On change wont fire as the Primary value is same. It has to be handled in some other way depending on what you want to achieve in the activity.

Looks like you have a design issue. If you want to treat the user selection of status in assignment 1 and assignment 2 differently, can you not use a temporary property on the UI, set it to blank before assignment 1 and assignment 2, have the users select the status, onchange gets triggered, have your business logic in the onchange activity, and update your main status property after each assignment?
