Description

The QUERY attribute associated with a <SELECT CSPBIND> tag creates a %ResultSetOpens in a new tab object based on the specified query that is defined within a Caché class from the CLASSNAME attribute. The %ResultSetOpens in a new tab object is automatically executed (by calling its Execute method using the parameter values given by the various Pn attributes of the tag) and is used to populate the option list from the property given by the FIELD attribute. The first column of the QUERY attribute is used to generate the value attributes for the <OPTION> tags. Make sure ID is the first column if that is how the object is linked.

Example:

<select name='DefaultPeerReviewer' cspbind='DefaultPeerReviewer' classname='CCR.Usr' query='UsersByOrg' field='Name' P1="#(activeOrgID)#"></select>

The FIELD attribute can specify 2 fields. Example:

<select name="Spouse" cspbind="Spouse" classname="Sample.Person" query="ByName" field="ID,Name" separator=" -- "></select>
