You can assign a bookmark to a button to clear input box selections.

Are we talking about input fields or input boxes (variables)?

Could you specify what 'selections' you are referring to (selections are commonly used for selections in field values of your resident data model)?

edit: if you are talking about variables, there are button actions (in 'External' action section) to change variable values.

As I said, you can use a button or text box with an External - Set Variable action.

But your variables in your input box are set with a constraint 'predefined values' only, I think this would prevent the button to work.

If Select From month as Feb then in To month need to see drop down as Feb & Jan should in greyish (means with out selection..)

You can hide Jan, but I don't think there is a way to grey it out.

Alternatively, the functionality you are looking to get is usually available in fields. Why don't you create two new fields in you dashboard as from and to and then create a MultiBox to achieve this requirement of yours?

HI Sunny,

grey in the Sense,

if From month is Jan, then possibility select should be for the To month is Jan & Feb

if From month is Feb, then possibility select should be for the To month is Feb not Jan

Re: clear input box selections?

I see what you are saying, but what I am saying is that if Feb is selected within FROM Month, you have two options

1) See both Jan and Feb (both are selectable)

2) See just Feb

This option is not available

3) See Jan and Feb, but Jan is greyout and cannot be selected

3 option can work using fields, instead of variables.

HI Sunny,

Can you provide me with some example, for using fields.

You can use this approach to create a From / To fields based on a date field (analog for other calendar fields):

Subroutine to Create Data Model for From/To Date Selection

This approach will serve your needs, i.e. selecting a FROM date will magically filter the possible TO dates.
