Clarity

I have a query based portlet and a filter which is using a lookup associated with a field.

The filter displays all the possible values instead of the defaults.

Secondly the filter fields are cleared when I click filter.

That does not happen with other filter fields .

Why might that be?

A rough guess, do your portlet query and lookup query have @FILTER@ clause?

That certainly did the trick.

The lookup query was mine and never run into that.

Works like a charm now.

Have you learned it the hard way or are you that smart?

Glad to hear that it worked.

I think I learnt it during my first portlet development when I tried to be adventurous
