Using Multiple Values for a Single Choice in a DropDown Input

Hi All,

Is there a way to add multiple values in a drop down to a single choice? For example, I have a drop down with multiple values which really should be under the same status. Here is my example below:

        <label>Select a status:</label>
        <default>*</default>
        <choice value="*">All</choice>
        <choice value="SUCCESS">SUCCESS</choice>
        <choice value="FAILED">FAILURE</choice>
        <choice value="FAIL">FAILURE</choice>
        <choice value="FAILURE">FAILURE</choice>
    </input>

Is there a way to combine the three failures so that they all fall under "FAILURE"?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Is there something like a field "status" and you use this choice as: status=$status$ in your corresponding search? If so, you could put something like this in as value:

 <label>Select a status:</label>
<default>status=*</default>
<choice value="status=*">All</choice>
<choice value="status=SUCCESS">SUCCESS</choice>
<choice value="status=FAILED OR status=FAIL OR status=FAILURE">FAILURE</choice>
</input>

and in your search you do not use status=$status$, instead you just use $status$.

Greetings

Tom
