Dynamically Populating Input Parameters

[DocFKNx]

When setting up Parameter fields you can specify a table as a source of the prompt value possibilities. This is great - at the time you create the parameter. But shouldn't this read the table each time to get an updated list of values that are current with the data set? (i.e. DATA DRIVEN). Is there a way to do this or is this a feature Crystal badly needs to implement?

Thanks!

Dear DocFKNx,

This has been a feature that we have been begging Crystal for for years and for years they have let us down.

That's a Crystal limitation.

My DataLink Viewer:

provides dynamic (and cascading) parameter functionality.
