Hi All,

Here's a quick hack that may come in handy sometime. If you want to set multiple values when selecting a single item from a select list - either to set labels or form inputs or even to pass parameters directly to an action refresh JavaScript or action report JavaScript, you can do this by populating your value column with a JavaScript Object. See the example report page below
