Reference Qualifier for Lookup Select Box Type variables.

[MarkJhonB]

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a catalog item that uses 2 variable set.
location(reference type) is from variable set 1.
device(Lookup Select Box type) is from variable set 2.

I wanted to filter the items on the device variable using the location from the variable set 1.
I directly applied the reference qualifier to the device variable using this.
location=current.variables.location.

It does not work as expected. The return of the location was blank since I think variable set 2 cannot directly access the value of location from the variable set 1. To access the value, both variable set 1 and 2 should be added under the catalog item. 

So, on the catalog item. I created a client script that will set a reference qualifier for the device variable.
This script below will only work if the variable is a reference type, but unfortunately it doesn't work on the Lookup Select Box type variable.

    g_form.clearValue('device');

    var queryfilter = g_list.get('device');

    queryfilter.reset();

    queryfilter.setQuery('location='+ g_form.getValue('location'));

Does anyone have an idea or encountered something like this?

Hi @MarkJhonB ,

update the ref qual and variable attributes as below

ref qual(not replace : with 🙂 in the ref qual (refer screen shot)

javascript:'location='+current.variables.location;

variable attributes

ref_qual_elements=location

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.

Hi @Chaitanya ILCR ,
It does not work, as I mentioned above. I think it cannot retrieve the value from the location variable since the location is from a different variable set. They are not in the same variable set.

Disregard this reply; it's my fault for using a semicolon instead of a colon. It is working fine now.
Thank you so much @Chaitanya ILCR !
