use selections from inherited state in alternate state

[curiousfellow]

I have an app with quit some listboxes.

Now I want to compare two different periods in one chart

So I created an alternate stated called "compare"  and a listbox with different periods assigned to "compare"

In my chart now there is an expression

sum(amount)

and an expression

sum({compare}amount)

I would like to use the selections from the other listboxes in the second expression too without having to use the DImensionxxx = $:: for every dimension in the "inherited"listboxes. It reduces the change of forgetting one of the selected items.

I read about copying selections from one state to another, but that needs the client to push buttons ?

May be you want it to be like this

Sum({$<Period = [Compare]::Period>} amount)
