Dynamic Action to Select/Display Specific Entry In Select List (Apex 5.1.4)

ApexFan67Dec 23 2019 — edited Dec 27 2019

Hi All,

have searched both inside this forum and on the interwebs and have tried all ideas that I could come up with.

What I want is to simply be able to "force" what the selected / visible entry is in a select list, based on an item on the same page, without having to Refresh the whole page

I have a modal dialog that, before it closes,

- inserts a row into the table that the select list is based on, and

- updates the column in the table that is the source for the select list item with the new ID

I have a DA that is successfully (these are all of the things I've tried)

- firing on the Close Dialog event

- populating a hidden page item (that is in the same region as the select list) with the new ID returned from the modal dialog

- setting the select list item value with this new returned value

- refreshing the select list

The select list refuses to show the item I want it to show, even though it is in the list at the time (I checked manually). Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong, or maybe this is a javascript task?

Thanks,

Paul
