Issue/Introduction

Description:

Static Dependent List Lookups are not available for NSQL Query Attributes. I have created an NSQL Query and I want to associate a Static Dependent List to one of the attributes, however the list of available lookups only show Dynamic Query Lists and Static Lists. Why don't I see any Static Dependent Lists?

Solution:

This is the intended behavior of the application. Currently, the application does not allow the end-user the option to associate a Static Dependent List to an attribute on an NSQL Query, nor to a filter field on a user-defined portlet. Static Dependent Lists can be used with Object Attributes, but not NSQL Query Attributes.

Note: Static Dependent List Lookups are also not available for Report and Job Definition parameters.

Workaround:
If you would like to use the data that is configured in an Static Dependent List through an NSQL Query, Portlet or Report and Job Definition parameter, you can create a Dynamic Query List. To Create a Dynamic Query Lookup ; extract the full Static Dependent path to display. This will be a flat listing, but if you design your query properly you should be able to display the entire path of each Dependent Level in the Lookup list. If you need assistance in designing a new dynamic query lookup, contact your CA Technologies Service Consultant.
