Need help with Interface Tools

[Gandalf_NotGrey]

Hello, I have a requirement for taking user input in a very specific way, and I am looking for some help with this. 

1. The user has to select one out of the five options. This will be single select and not multiple - select. User can pick only one option at a time. (Options 1,2,3,4,5)
2. Upon selecting each of these options, a sub-set appears. For example - If the user selects Options 1, a subset appears with options 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. These will be multiple select. User can select multiple options at a time.
3. Same thing for Options 2, 3, 4. If the user selects 2, then 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25 appears. If the user selects 4, then 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 appears. All these subsets are multiple-select.
4. If the user selects Option 5, a subset appears but that is also a single select. For example - User selects Option 5, subset appears with options 51, 52, 53 - User can select only one of these, not multiple.

Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't explained properly.

I wanted to understand, how do I capture the user inputs from these sequence of interface tools?

Please see attached workflow.

I have resolved the part where I am taking multiple select options from user.

But I am still unable to capture the part when user selects a single option from option 5. (Container 51)

@Gandalf_NotGrey I believe the workflow I just posted answers that question.

@Gandalf_NotGrey If it worked, please mark it as the solution so others may find the answer faster.

Thanks @abacon for sharing the workflow.

It is working perfectly for multi-select, but when I select any of the options from Option - 5, it always gives output as Option 55, even when I select 51, 52, 53 or 54. Can you help please.

Also, this workflow is a bit difficult for me to understand as a newer user, so I'll need to deep dive to understand what exactly is happening.

Thanks a ton though.

@Gandalf_NotGrey You are right, so sorry about that. Just fixed that.

What is happening - In function, it is not too tricky but the way Alteryx is designed it has to be a little complex. Condition tools trigger action tools based on if they are connected to the True or False anchor, the condition in this case is if the connected Radio button is selected.

Each interface tool has to have it's own action tool, creating a little bit of a mess on the canvas.

Does that give some context to dig in? What parts are you needing insight into more specifically? Would be happy to help.

Hello @abacon - I am afraid it is still giving incorrect result. Instead of giving the selected options from the subset, it is giving the category which was selected. And one selection from Option is coming by default.

When making below selection - 

It is giving this result - 

When selecting below option -

, it is giving below results - 

And when selecting option 5 - 

Result is this -

@Gandalf_NotGrey @I will take a look this AM, I believe I know the issue, I am on my phone currently though. Apologies on that.

@Gandalf_NotGrey Fixed it. Had to connect Option 5 radio to each condition for the option 50's and ensure they run only when option 5 is selected AND the desired option 50.

If you don't want the list selections concatted, just remove Summarize 64 from the workflow.

Thanks so much @abacon for sharing this. Really appreciate you putting in your time and effort on this. This was very helpful, and I learned some quite useful tools and techniques as well. You have an amazing day ahead. Thanks again.

@Gandalf_NotGrey Happy to help, sorry it took a few iterations haha. Hopefully it really helped open some doors for you in your alteryx development journey.
