Alternate States - copying selections in alternate state to default state

[ngulliver]

Is there a way of copying selection criteria made in alternate states to the default state ? And default state to alternate state ?

This will enable the user to refine their investigations based on previous assumptions.

Thanks,

Hi,

In v11.2 SR5, the issue with the copy alternate state action look like corrected. No need to use a macro anymore.

Hi all,

It seems that the issue remains in 11.2 SR9 - it's impossible to copy from an alternate state to default state. It's interesting that it work in a new app with small number of data, but does not work if I use the feature in an existing app with all data loaded.

Does anyone observe it in SR9?

Best regards,

Maxim

Hi,

Did anyone try using Clear All for an alt. state before copying to the alt. state? It seems this solves the issue.

Best regards,

I find "Copy State" to be quite buggy; I agree with many other posters on that point.

Instead I just add a Trigger for every field I want to copy; this is not very sustainable if you want to copy many fields, or your fields might change.

In this case , the Action

Action:

Document

     > OnAnySelect

Triggers:

Select in Field

{

Field:

     FieldName

Search String:

     ='('&CONCAT(DISTINCT '"' & [FieldName] & '"', ' | ')&')'

Alternate State:

     State 2

}

This will not copy the state exactly either; if you clear the default state, this will do the equivalent of "Select Possible" in the Alternate State
