How can I accomplish Popup Select Box functionality but with the Datalist not in a popup?

Confluence User - 30 Jun, 2017

My customer needs Popup Select Box functionality (pass form parameters to Filter a Datalist and display it) but would like the resulting filtered Datalist to appear in the full space to the right of the Userview Menu, not in a popup window. I have tried putting a link URL on the form with the Datalist URL and filter parameters, but I cannot pass the form field values to the URL parameters since the form has not been submitted and thus the values are not yet in a table and thus not accessible with Hash Variables. I see however, that a Popup Select Box is able to use this methodology and pass field values to a Datalist. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hi, as you mentioned, you can't use Hash Variables because the values have not been submitted to the server-side yet. What you would need to do is to make use of client-side JavaScript and/or JQuery to dynamically retrieve the values that you need. For example you could also make use of Javascript API#getValue(fieldId)
