How to pass a value to a filter prompt based on a value list?

[martin_schffler]

I have a query that has a filter prompt that is based on a value list. I want to call this query from another query as a drill down.

So I build the URL to call the query and pass the value for the filter prompts as URL parameters. For the filter prompts that are simple text fields this works without problems, but how do I pass a value to the filter prompt that is based on the value list?

I tried passing

<parameterName>=<valueListId>:616:null

and that gives me "None" for the value list prompt as expected.

I then tried to pass the DisplayName (as I would do when setting a default value for the prompt).

Like this:

<parameterName>=<displayName>

but that does not work.

I also tried some variations/combinations like

<parameterName>=<valueListId>:616:<displayName>

but that does not work either.

So does anybody know how to pass a parameter to the value list prompt?
