Use multiple variables in Filter Tool which are obtained via Interface Tools

I have a Filter Tool which contains the following custom filter statement:

 

  • [Acct. Type]="BS Accounts" and
  • [COA]="selectedCOA" and
  • [Entity]="selectedCC"

 

I would like to dynamically obtain from the user during the app execution the values for selectedCOA and selectedCC and filter [COA] and [Entity] accordingly.

 

I have created an Action Tool which will -using the function "replace a specific string" -  replace the value of "selectedCC" and "selectedCOA" with a value a user has selected in Drop Down Tool.

 

My questions:

- My Filter Tool only accepts 1 Action Tool to be connected. Does this mean I have to split [COA] and [Entity] into 2 Filter Tools?

- Is there actually a better way to achieve what I want to achieve?

 

 

Many thanks,


Thomas
