Description Hari Nair

Multiple select from combobox will be of added advantage

from a list of 1,b,c,d,e,f,g,h
user wanted to select a,b,g,h only

What's the user case for the multi-selection? Birt parameter type does support the list. How could the list of values be evaluated.

Comment 2 Hari Nair

Example
The list contains month Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr
Now the user wanted to select Jan and Apr only (together)
hence month paramater caonatis 2 values Jan and Apr (not one value or a range of value-but selected values)

This is usefull in many cases
Do we have a plan for such enhancement. or is it possible in the current version?
Regards

I mean after you select Jan and Apr, do you want to treat them as a whole one value as a string "Jan, Apr", or you want to pass a value list contains two values like<Jan, Apr> to the report? if the former, the case is kinda odd. if is the second one, i think birt engine and model do not support that by now since parameter always take a single value.

Doesn't support Array parameter now.

WHERE MONTH IN ( "JAN","FEB",MAR","APR","DEC")

or

where  month in (1,2,3,4,6,9,12)


The current issue is Multi-select is not supported in Combo-Box/List-Box

Probably this can be a future enhancement

This is a dup of Bug 131089 (March 2006)
