The choices are not dynamically updated based on the Reference qual script.

KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

The Reference qual script of a select box variable is set to get the choices depending on another variable. But it does not return the correct choices.

Release

All

Cause

The probable cause might be because of having 'return' in the reference qual.

Resolution

To resolve the issue, remove 'return' from the reference qual script:

Ex: Remove return from : "javascript:return 'u_test=' + current.variables.snc.getDisplayValue();"

 

and write it as : "javascript:'u_test=' + current.variables.snc.getDisplayValue();"
