OBIEE 12.2.1.2 Write back with drop down box
Hi,
Was anyone able to create a drop down list for the write back column? So instead of a free-form text box, I want to give the user a list of values to select from. I found some articles online, but the JQuery code didn't work in 12c. The code I found online is below. Instead of a drop down, my analysis just displays the code.
'<select id="user_comment" onchange=obipswb.Grid.Change(event)>
<option value="No Comment">Select Comment</option>
<option value="Good">Good</option>
<option value="Bad">Bad</option>
</select>'

Do yourself a favour, drop the dead donkey and use Apex for this, it has the kind of fully formed functionality you are looking for.

Perfectly said by Robert (beaten by 1minute) and always lovely to see slides from my "Worst Practices" presentation actually implemented in real life again.
OBI is an analytical platform and not a software development kit for data entry webpages.

Sorry!
I was just curious!
I agree writeback is not fit for purpose.

Good morning Christian.
What do you think it would take to stake the writeback 'vampire', there seems to be an inordinate amount of interest in it recently!

'Vampire'?
A vampire has the appearance of life but is really dead, and if you go to close then it sucks your vitality - yes - perfect fit for writeback!

The usual ebb/tide cycle. Some "new consultants" get a "requirement document" and as usual jumps immediately to fulfilling every letter, dotted "i" and every crossed "t" rather than thinking about what's in front of him/her.

Amen to that.
I believe that as a developer / architect the worst thing I can do is deliver exactly what they ask for...

Exactly. The most important part of a consultant's work is to *counsel* clients on what makes sense.
