List box to filter tool

[DenisZ]

I'm having trouble understanding how to get the list box to the filter tool. 

I have created a small program that recreates that issue.

Hi @DenisZ 

What's the issue, as it seems to work for me. I select A & D and only Ad & D are outputted?

Hi @DenisZ 

Basically in the workflow you have designed is used to filter the records which you have selected to display based on the List tool.

Here below you can change the test which you wanted to be displayed as "Select the List box and then you can see the Output of the selected values"

As you have used the string field, you are trying to create a custom Filter criteria.

So you select A and B, this will create as "A","B"

The below helps to create as many List box as per the properties entered.

If you have not entered E, even if the Input file you have attached has data's for E, then it will not give the List option for use to select E.

Many thanks

Hi @DenisZ 

In the Action tool, the replace string is given action to replace in Filter tool.

Where be the below will be replaced dynamically with [Name] in ("A","B")

Then the True node output is saved with the help of Output tool.

Feel free to ask any question if you still have any.

Many thanks
