Hi

I have created one 'DropDown' List box with static entry list. When i am selecting the entries nothing is happening.

I want to pass the selected value, how to do that?

Hi

Follow the steps below -

1. Drag Form & select Drop Down list for the required field.

2. In entry list select Static list.

3. You will get 2 columns over there Value & Description. In value enter key of the field & in text enter description.

4. Then create Button, select system action as 'Submit' & submit self option.

5. then in connecting line select 'event as 'Submit' & pass the key of that field. i.e @field_key

this should work.

Hi

Is it possible to use it without 'Submit' button?

Hi,

Yes.

Define an action of the dropdown's field, and use this event on the outbounding link from the containing form.

Hi

Go to System actions of drop down list & select 'System Action' as 'Select'. In the connecting line after that form take event as 'Select' & then deploy your model.

Hi

There is big difference, i explained in a way which is easy to understand for the layman also.

By the way this is not a chatting forum so dont ask such questions.

It is not enough to just define the dropdown list with static values, you must raise an event to pass the value. If you have a form with a dropdown list you must create a pushbutton with the submit event as an action and pass that to your data source or whatever it is you are passing to. Make sure you click the connector with your submit event and check that your field is being passed EG. @FIELD
