Item(select list) with LOV and Report with link = changed value item

Question

Hello,
On one page I have:
- Item 'P_name' (select list) with LOV to select name of a person;
- Items 'factory' and Report 'factory'(standard created with 'Form with Report' on the same page).
Situation:
All works fine. I selected first a LOV Item 'P_name' (say 'Jane'). But....
Only when I select a record (to change the values) from the report 'factory' then LOV Item 'P_name' become empty. Report used a link to the same page to fill the report items 'factory' and make also the LOV item empty.
Question:
I have made a process that write the name 'Jane' to table.
I see two possibilities:
- LOV Item value => fill the LOV item with 'Jane' from the table before region. Is this possible?
- Report => What is the buttonname of reportlink? I can use this name in the processes.
Thanks Walter!

1) what i meant was for you to test this ridiculously huge LOV outside of htmldb, but it occurred to me last night that you could, in fact, be hitting a limit of ours. after some poking around, i have confirmed that. select list items in htmldb are currently limited to 10,000 rows. this was initially done for performance reasons, but they're now opening up the restriction. if you really need to work with that many rows where the user is allowed to pick from a set of values, consider using a popup item type instead. it'd help your app performance as well (in my test cases, it stank to have to wait for my 10k select list rows to come down to my browser).
2) sorry to not have been more clear about this, but when you set your item's "Source Type" back to "Database Column", you'd have to specify that column in the "Source or value expression" field. also, you can't put a sql query into that "Post Calculation Computation" field. as i said before, "you can take a look at the attribute-level help for that field to see implementation examples."
3) stick with "Always..." for now if you're using our auto-dml process(es)
