We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

    Hi there!

    We've got a table that uses values from another wpDataTable:

    Table: Lookup: drs_member (id: 100), Show column: zwift_id, Value from column: drs_member_id

    We've set the editor input type to "Single-value Selectbox", so users can pick the ID from the list. 

    As we just started with these new tables, not all website users will have their zwift_id already filled in. This means that the Selectbox shows over 1400 empty values before listing the zwift_id's that are already filled in.

    Is there a way to hide these empty values, but allow the "Add an empty value to the list" to still work?

    Thank you in advance for your reply!

    Hi, Kevin

    Apology for the late reply

    -

    I can see what you mean,  and I just made a test.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but currently it is not possible to remove the blank/empty values that are being pulled from the possible editing values of the foreign key column.

    This is a limitation for the columns that are foreign key relations.

    For them, we are unable to define to only load specific values for editing/filtering.

    -

    If we were able to do that, the solution would be to define values like this :

    Then the plugin would remove/ignore any other values, including blank ones,

    but for the foreign key columns, we currently don't have this possibility.

    We might work on somehow bypassing that limit in the future, but I can't say if and when that might be possible.

    Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks

    Kind Regards, 

    Miloš Jovanović
