Hi All,
I created a Fetch Specification named 'DistinctCategories' in my Movie EO, and 
have select the Distinct rows option.  I also have it set to return Specific 
Attributes as raw rows and have only the category attribute selected.  I am 
linking that to my NewCategoryPop WOPopUpButton through the class property 
distinctCategories.  I need this drop down to represent the newcategory 
property in my form below.  It seems that the NSArray is configuring it with 
the option value set to the index of the array and the displayString set to the 
Movie object, not the value of the category.  The page displays the same value 
no pater if I have the item & displayString values set in my Dynamic Component. 
 What am I doing wrong?

Thomas


// Main.java

        private Movie acategory; // Stores the value of the Category search 
field.
        private NSArray<Movie> distinctCategories; // Stores the results of a 
search.
...
        public NSArray<Movie> getDistinctCategories() {
                return this.distinctCategories;
        }
        
        public void setDistinctCategories() {
                EOEditingContext ec = session().defaultEditingContext();
                NSArray<Movie> distinctCategories = 
EOUtilities.objectsWithFetchSpecificationAndBindings(ec, "Movie", 
"DistinctCategories", null);
                this.distinctCategories = distinctCategories;
        }
...

// Main.wo
NewCategoryPop : WOPopUpButton {
        list = distinctCategories;
        item = acategory.category;
        displayString = acategory.category;
        selectedValue = newcategory;
}

My Fetch Specification is set to return a distinct on the category property.  
That seems to be returning the right number of rows, but I am getting an Object 
in the WOPopupButton option list.

        <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"

                <tr><td>Category:</td><td><select name="5.3.3"><option

                <tr><td colspan=2 ><input type="submit" value="Insert"

                </table>
        <input type="hidden" name="wosid" value="8v9GksUm8D3deHrl4b0VAw" 
/></form>
