Hi All,

I got a requirement like, i need to display the versions in input control except Actuals. This input was linked to a Data Action.

I am not ble to filter out the Actuals value from the list. Getting all the versions in the list when running the data action.

Is there any way to display the versions other than Actuals.

Thanks in advance.

Something like this should do the job. In the Input control selection, first select ALL members and then deselect the Actuals. Also if you want only a single version to be selected at a time, adjust the selection option a single selection.

Result of the above settings, you can se that there is no Actuals shown as a possible selection.

Hope this helps !

Hi kiran_s611,

The version selection of Data action parameter doesn't allow pre-filtering( to exclude version Actual) while input control can. Why not in this case don't prompt version selection but only allow user to select version from input control ?

Best regards, William

@N1kh1l, Thanks for your response. I tried the steps which you mentioned. Upto this level it is fine.

I am linking the input control in data action.

After linking the input control in data action, when i am running it. I am getting all the versions list in parameter.

Is there any way to limit the versions in parameter list.
Thanks..

@kiran_s611

If you want to drive data action version selection from Version Input Control, then currently the Input Control cannot support exclude option. If your idea is to only allow few of the versions to be selected then configure the input control to only show those versions. See below example.

Now configure the Data Action to use the Version Input Control.

Please note you will have to select atleast a version in the input control. If you do not select anything it will error out. Data Actions only support one version selection as a prompt.

Hope this helps !
