variables with alternate state

[VaishnaviMogal2]

Hi,

I have two tables one in alternate state 'state1' and one is in default state. I have created a variable to store selected vin value from alternate state table .

var1= GetFieldSelections({'state1'} vin) 

print this value in default table using

$(var1)

but this giving me result as dash (-). 

How can i get the selected vin value in default state or any other state table. any suggestions please reply.

Thanks.

This function has a different syntax with parameters. Try like:
GetFieldSelections( vin,',',100, 'state1')

@tresesco  It Worked! thanks.

I just want to ask 

only({state1} vin)

is also giving same result. could you please comment on both solution to understand better.

Thanks

@VaishnaviMogal2 if you select more than one then only() returns null, whereas with the getfieldselections() you would get multiple values separated by delimiter that you can treat accordingly as per your requirement
