Hi Sekhar,

you have a node that bind to the drop down list with cardinality 0:n or 1:n.

Select each attribute to that node and check 'NullValue' . Do this for each attribute for that node, so that u can add blank entry.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Shaira and kissnas,

thanks for your quick reply . Actually I use dropdown by index. and the method you (@shaira madhu) described , I implemented but no luck. The blank spance is not coming after setting the nullvalue entry as checked. Actually I initialize all the dropdown list in WDDOINIT method. So please suggest any idea.

Thanks in advance,

Sekhar

Hi,

what Kris described does work... I do it like that as well (of course you only have to set those attributes blank which you are actually want to be displayed blank).

Hi,

I think the blank value in a filter is same as showing All, and not only the rows which has value blank. Nevertheless both can be achieved as below.

"Blank Value to show everything in Table as if no filter provided"

value-key = '*'.
value-value = 'All'.             " This will show up the text as All and work as if no filter is given and it will show all.
APPEND value to set.

"Blank Value to show the rows which has the value as space"

value-key = space.
value-value = 'None'.             " This will show up the text as None and work as if filter is given to show value as space
APPEND value to set.

Hope this help!
