list box settings

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have two questions about list box settings.

1) If I use an expression in a list box instead of a field, then Show Alternative option (on the general tab) is disabled. Is it possible to enable this option while using an expression?

2) In the second case I'm using a field (not an expression) in a list box. I'd like to set two options simoultaniously Show Alternative and Hide excluded. How is that possible?

Thank you in advance,

Larisa

About 1:

My advise is never to use a Calculated Dimension (because that is effectively what you are doing if you use an expression instead of a field). Calculate that Dimension in your script and use the field in your front-end.

The combination is not possible. If you hide the excluded, you also hide the alternatives because they are effectively excluded.
