Hello,

I have two dropdowns. One is a dropdown where I am values of a field in static and the over in dynamic. I want to put a value default for the second dropdown but All doesn't work, when I open my view the second dropdown has the value
"choose an option above". Moreover I want that the search by default launch automatically when I open my view, how can do it?

Please by advance,

Laura

Laura,
You could do this to have your search automatically initiate when you open the view.

<module name="HiddenSearch" autoRun="True">
  <param name="search">source="tcp:5543"</param>
  <module name="StaticSelect">
    <param name="settingToCreate">Requester</param>
    <param name="label">Requester</param>
    <param name="staticFieldsToDisplay">
      <list>
    <param name="label">All</param>
    <param name="value">*</param>
      </list>
      <list>
    <param name="label">fr18126</param>
    <param name="value">fr18126</param>
      </list>
      <list>
    <param name="label">a187571</param>
    <param name="value">a187571</param>
      </list>
    </param>

Thx very much to your answer. The "autoRun=true" resolves my 2 problems.

Also, make note that I've put a * in your value for your 'All" label in your StaticSelect so that when your search runs it will inject a * in your Requester value.
