Update filter value using user selection

ayx-droid

I'm working on an analytic app where user selected value from dropdown list updates filter value but cannot get it right. What am I doing wrong?

Expected output: Message would show the value selected from dropdown interface tool.

You needed to expand the Simple expression further and highlight the line that says Operand-value="Y".

when you use the Basic Filter as opposed to Custom Filter, you need to do this.

@Dynamomo I tried that too before posting. It still does not update the filter value.

I'm selecting one from below:

I'm expecting to see

That requires a formula tool, not a filter tool.  The filter tool selects records that are true for the expression.  The expression was changing to Type=BNR, which was selecting records where type = bnr.

you want to use the formula tool.  Update the field Type with the value being selected in the app.

see attached workflow
