Heading essentially explains the problem. We have an XFA form that we use for employee timecards. Every time you select the dropdown menu that has the list of dates it will duplicate everything inside the dropdown menu, for example:
Click on the dropdown once - Normal set of dates
Click on the dropdown for a second time - You now have two copies of every date
Click on the dropdown for a third time - You now have three copies of every date
*rinse & repeat
The dates are coded to affect a set of other cells that populate depending on which Pay period is selected.
Really not seeing any other examples of this happening, any ideas?

I have a combobox that has a rather large recordset of flights sorted by date. Each time I want to add a new flight I have to scroll down 3-4 times to get to the current flights on the very bottom of the list (very cumbersome).
Ideally when I click the dropdown I only want to see current flights as opposed to seeing a list of all flights that have ever been entered. So I tried setting criteria of the combobox to only show current flights but now historical records just show up as blank.
Is there a way set the criteria of a combobox on dropdown to only show current flights then remove the criteria after the combobox is closed to ensure historical records are viewable?
I have an interactive report with two regions.
The first region is static region with a select list and a button to submit the process.
The second region is the report region which refreshes the region based on first region select list value and Process (calculate) button submitted.
However if I try to submit same item (List of values) subsequently the process button must be disabled. (i.e) Any repetition of same List of values, once calculation or process is performed, the calculate button must be disabled and these are all based on input selection from front end.
Please note there is not any direct relationship between the Select list button (Page item) and second region columns and I cannot achieve it by distinguishing at database level if it is processed or unprocessed, as there is not any column maintained in database tables (in this case second region about year which is processed).
How can process be disabled second time?
and only if select list for quarter is entered for first time the process button (Calculate) must be enabled based on.
The second region values are populated/refreshed by swapping the columns this_year_q1 to last_year_q1, last_year_q1 to year_before_last_year_q1 etc., if calculate button is enabled and process is called.
So in below case, the calculate button is enabled when select list is (Quarter is Q4:01/10/2017 to 31/12/2017), this is fine and must allow process for first time.
Subsequent reselection of same value must not allow process to calculate.

Here's an idea:
create a (hidden) page text item
using a dynamic action on a button
compare current Select List item's value with hidden item's value (don't forget the NVL function!)
if they don't match, put current (selected) Select List item value into the hidden item so that you could check it when the button is pressed once again (i.e. whether user selected the same value or not) and submit
if they match, do nothing (don't submit)
If you don't want to run the report twice not only for subsequent executions but during the session, you'd have to store selected values somewhere (a table?). The rest would be the same - you'd only have to select from that table and compare Select List's values with values already used.
Is it possible to have the same combobox appear on multiple forms with linked selections?
I have several forms used for data entry and on the Main form (which has links to the other forms) there are two comboboxes, one queries Year and the other Branch. Based on the selections of these two combo boxes the other forms with apply filters on activate so that users can enter data for their specific branches.
What I am trying to do is have the same comboboxes appear on all the forms so that users don't have to go back to the main form to change the year or branch.
What you're saying is this:
On Form A the user would choose the year and the branch.
On form B their selection would continue to appear.
Option 1: If they can change it in form B you need to copy the value (set the default value) when you launch form B.
Option 2: if they can't change it in form B just put the value inside a (locked) text box, so they will see what the year was but they wouldn't be able to change it.
How would I go about making multiple selections in a QlikView straight table?
For example, how would I select the 1st and 5th rows at the same time?
There is a section about multiple selections in the QlikView 11 - Reference Manual :
14.5 Multiple Selection Within a Field
Multiple selections within a field (from one lisstrong textt box) can be made in a number of ways:
Position the cursor in the list box, then drag it over a number of field values while pressing the
mouse button.
Click the first field value to be selected, then CTRL-click each additional selection.
Click the top item to be selected, then SHIFT-click the bottom item to be selected. This way all the
items in between will be selected. However, if the sort mechanism is on, the first selection may cause
the order to change, which makes it difficult to make a correct second selection.
Confirm a text search (see below) by hitting the ENTER key. This will result in all matching field
values being selected. By keeping the CTRL key depressed while pressing ENTER the selections
from the text search will be added to previous selections.
To deselect a previously made additional selection, CTRL-click it.
If a multiple selection is made in one list box, and make a new selection from the available optional values
in another list box, some of the selected values in the first list box may get excluded. However, when the
selection in the second list box is canceled, the previous selections will, by default, be recovered.
A multiple selection can be interpreted in two different ways, either as a logical or or as a logical and.
Default is logical or, i.e. QlikView will find a solution that is associated to one or more of the selected field
values.

For straight tables, you can only select items next to each other. Ctrl-Select only works for listboxes
I've got a form that returns multiple records from a table. Each of these records has a field indicating what the measurement was and the measurement's value. My form's record source pulls the appropriate ID's set of measurements and values, and then I want to write each of these measurements to different text boxes on the form.
The problem is that I'm also keeping track of the date this data was updated, and want to include only the data pulled based on the "date updated" selected at the top of the form.
When I go to pull the measurement value into a text box (with something like max(iif(Measurement="Acidity", [Value],[Null])) I get #Error all down my form. This had been working earlier today, and as I've been developing the form something changed and now it no longer works (everything but the date returned is saying #Error). I've set it to Requery when the form loads and whenever the date selected is changed.
EDIT:
This form is actually a subform of another main form. The main form has a control called MemberID which a user can use to select the Member they want information about. This is based on a query that pulls from a table the information related to that MemberID (one row per MemberID). When the form loads, the query behind the main form needs to be requeried to get the data for the selected MemberID.
Then there is this subform causing the problems. On this subform is a "Data Updated" drop down box, which lists the possible dates that the data was updated. When one chooses a particular "Data updated" in the drop down box, this chooses the latest data for all the data measures up to that date selected. This means the form's record source pulls about 10 records in my case.
Then, on this subform I try to layout these 10 records' values in different text boxes. So, in my acidity case above, I would say iif(Measurement="Acidity", [Value], Null). Because there are 10 rows returned, I will end up with 9 Nulls and 1 value, and to get that value I use the max function, so the text box's control source reads: max(iif(Measurement="Acidity",[Value],Null)).
The strange thing is this code was working this morning, until later this afternoon when I was filling in the remaining text boxes with similar code, and then it stopped working. I had also renamed the boxes from Text71 to more relevant names, but none of these are referenced in the code.
