Dictionaries - grouping
0

Hello
Webcon v. 2021.1.2.136

I have Dictionary and few thousent lines inside.
I display dictionary fields /10 fields/ on the form as "Choice fields"
I need to group fields taking into account values to displaying only unique.
I do not see grouping option/function.

May be someone has solution ?

Hi Jerzy,

I must admit that it sound strange, but I don't know the background. So let's stick to your question. :)

I assume that you are using the dictionary as a data source for the fields. In your case I would change this to sql/current database and provide a query similar to:

Select distinct Columnname (taken from the objects tab)
From wfelements
Where wfd_dtypeid = IdOfDictionaryFormType
And ActiveColumnName = 1

I've written this on my mobile so there could be spelling errors. :)

Off topic:
Are you aware of the autocomplete mode and target fields?

Maybe your use case is similar to the one mentioned in the article and you can change your approach.
Best regards,
Daniel
