Populating List Item From View

Question

I have two data blocks in my form, one named USERS which contains updateable fields to a table from the view and another data block called CONTROL which are all list items that currently populate on a WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK trigger. The list items work as expected for the WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK trigger. However, my problem is trying to populate the list items based on a selection previously chosen and saved to the table (yes, the values are in the table and are selectable through the view). I have a seperate population for this occurrance in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE at the form level, as well as on KEY-SCRUP, KEY-SCRDOWN, WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE, and POST-QUERY at the USERS data block level. The only way the list items populate on a previously chosen and saved value is if you choose (WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK trigger) the list of values and save. From then on, as I scroll through the data retrieved in the USERS data block the corresponding data in the users view shows up in the CONTROL block list items. How do I get my form to initially show the corresponding list item data on form load when it is already in a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE and POST-QUERY trigger on form load?
Thanks in advance for any clue to point me in the right direction.

Answer 1

The form is for editing a current student information system user who we will be extracting data for an OBIEE IDM import. All of the fields displayed in the OBIEE_USERS data block can be edited. For the CONTROL block list items I would like them to display the current value chosen for the user displayed in the OBIEE_USERS data block. When the CONTROL block list items are clicked on then a list of values are displayed in which the logged in form user can chose another value which ultimately changes the choice for the user displayed in the OBIEE_USERS data block. This all works fine in my current form except the list items do not display the current user selected in the OBIEE_USERS data block's saved value until the list item is selected, a value chosen, and a save is committed to the table tied to the OBIEE_USERS data block. From that point I can scroll through the OBIEE_USERS block and the list item displays the correct value for the selected user, if there are values (some users have NULL values). I have currently worked around this issue by displaying the fields in the OBIEE_USERS block and only use the list items for the changing selection. I did this because I needed a proof of concept for the pilot roll-out and could no longer wait to figure this issue out (it should be more simple it seems). I am still interested in resolving this as I feel it is a great functionality for the form.
