The API returns all the values, but their <STRONG>qState</STRONG> is only either 'S' or 'X'. The alternatve values appear with <STRONG>qState</STRONG> 'X', not 'A' as I would have expected.</P><P>How do I set things up so that alternative values are properly indicated in the response from <STRONG>getMoreData()</STRONG>?</P><P>If I create a list for the field with <STRONG>createList()</STRONG> and set&nbsp;<SPAN><STRONG>qShowAlternatives</STRONG> to 'true', the values are returned with <STRONG>qState</STRONG> set properly. I would like to use <STRONG>getMoreData()</STRONG> instead of managing the list myself, but can't figure out how to make it recognize the show alternative flag.</SPAN></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 29 Nov 2020 19:31:34 GMT pmcgovern-ecn 2020-11-29T19:31:34Z https://community.qlik.com/t5/Integration-Extension-APIs/How-to-get-alternate-values-from-Field-getData-and-getMoreData/m-p/1765144#M13599 <P>Hello,</P><P>I am using the Field functions <STRONG>getData()</STRONG> and <STRONG>getMoreData()</STRONG>&nbsp;in an extension to retrieve all the values present in a field.
