Oracle APEX Interactive Report Link Builder not working as expected?

Pearl

I'm trying to create column links for an IR, and have the following:

Based on my understanding, this should create column links that direct to page 12, which is also an IR, and apply a filter on the column LEMMA_ID so that the only entries shown are those with LEMMA_ID values equal to the LEMMA_ID values from the clicked row of the IR on the current page. However, the links only direct to page 12, with no filter applied. Why might this be and how can I fix it?

Thank you!

Also:

LEMMA_ID values are type VARCHAR2 and the leftmost column (with the search glass icon) is the column links.

Hi,

... remove the backslashes in the "Value" field.

Thank you for the response, but it still doesn't work...

Does your IR page have a (hidden) item called IR_LEMMA_ID?

Is your IR query something like this?

select ...
from ...
where lemma_id = :IR_LEMMA_ID

Or ... you are looking for URL filtering, in which case you need to use the proper filtering convention:

The IR has the following columns:

from the IR uses the following SQL query:

select MOCKSTEMS.WORD_ID,
       MOCKSTEMS.STEM_ID as COMPONENT_ID,
       MOCKSTEMS.LABSTEM as LABCOMPONENT,
       MOCKSTEMS.LABSTEMCATEGORY as LABCATEGORY,
       'Stem' as STEM_OR_MORPHEME,
       MOCKSTEMS.LEMMA_ID,
       MOCKWORDS.ORIGINALWORD
from MOCKSTEMS
inner join MOCKWORDS on MOCKSTEMS.WORD_ID = MOCKWORDS.WORD_ID
union all
select MOCKSTEMS.WORD_ID as WORD_ID,
       MOCKMORPHS.MORPHEME_ID as COMPONENT_ID,
       MOCKMORPHS.LABMORPHEME as LABCOMPONENT,
       MOCKMORPHS.LABMORPHEMECATEGORY as LABCATEGORY,
       'Morpheme' as STEM_OR_MORPHEME,
       MOCKMORPHS.LEMMA_ID,
       MOCKWORDS.ORIGINALWORD
from MOCKMORPHS
inner join MOCKSTEMS on MOCKMORPHS.STEM_ID = MOCKSTEMS.STEM_ID
inner join MOCKWORDS on MOCKSTEMS.WORD_ID = MOCKWORDS.WORD_ID

Your original link should work. What is the generated URL exactly?

Try disabling pretty url. Maybe it's a problem with pretty url's.

Or it's a problem with the escaped value that is not unescaped on your IR.

What do you mean by disabling pretty url? How would I do that?

I think the colon is causing the issue... I created another column where the colons in the LEMMA_IDs are replaced with a dash, and the linking works.

I don't know why the colons would cause issues though, because the same set up works fine when I use LEMMA_IDs containing colons to link in the "opposite direction": from page 12 back to this page. Do you have any idea what might be happening? If not, that's totally fine - thank you so much for all your help @InoL!
