It sounds like you may be changing your requirement? In your first post you asked about listing hidden fields in a listbox. In the last post you asked about including hidden fields in a current selections box. Could you be more specific about your actual business objective?

Hi Rob

listing hidden fields in a list box is first priority but including hidden fields in a current selections box can be workaround too...

Thanks

The main objective behind this is , i have 500+ hidden attributes and these attributes are added in the chart table using conditional show. Users have created bookmarks based on those attributes. Users don't want to re create the bookmarks. Now some user population is looking for functionality to add and remove attributes from chart table with the help of current selection or list box which will have all selected conditional attributes.

Hope this helps...

It sounds like you want to display the currently selected values for hidden fields. The only way I can think of is to use

GetFieldSelections(myHiddenField)

Hi Rob

thanks for the reply,

Please find attached sample QVW.

Here in this scenario 2 list boxes are created and they are added in container.

Using Chart table attributes are added in the table.. These attributes are conditionally selected.

One more list box created to combine both list boxes into one, (which we had discussed earlier)

Now using the combined list box attributes should be able to select / unselected the report attributes .. means user dont have to go report build menu and search for attributes..

Hope this helps..

I don't have any suggestions. I'm sorry, I'm not following what you are trying to do.

As far as I understand you, you want a hidden field (by using SET hideprefix in Script) in a Listbox.

This is possible by first adding a new Table object on your dashboard with the option 'Show System Fields' selected. After that you'll see all System Fields and Hidden Fields available in the Listbox and you can select the field you want.
