I am running a loop where if condition met to select check box. I am unable to to do select multiple check boxes. It select first check box then run loop again but doesn't select next check boxes where condition are met.

To give some insight into what you're probably experiencing - Automation Anywhere object cloning basically operates like Javascript's getElementById in that it locks onto the first available item that meets the criteria you set forth in the object cloning parameters. There is no way to populate an array with these items like Javascript's getElementsByClassName might do.
This is interesting because if there are multiple items on the page that you're trying to work with and object cloning, by default, sets parameters that those items share, you'll only ever be able to interact with the first one.
I would suggest looking into additional parameters that distinguish each check box using Chrome's inspector or the other properties object cloning makes available to select.

I'm on a project in which I need to get data from a ServiceNow instance and treat all data with PowerBI. I'm able to retrieve a big amount of data (Snow collect a lot of data), but I still need a way to filter data correctly. I'm calling to this URL:
Besides, I want also to apply a filter to retrieve just some specific registries from the table Requested Items. For that, I use the sysparm_query parameter to filter the field "cmdb_ci" and more specifically it's "name", something like:
&sysparm_query=cmdb_ci=What I need to Filter
Apart from this, I have also tried:
&sysparm_query=cmdb_ci.value=What I need to Filter
&sysparm_query=cmdb_ci.display_value=What I need to Filter
&sysparm_query=cmdb_ci.sys_id=What I need to Filter
&sysparm_query=cmdb_ci.name=What I need to Filter
But still not found the solution... as all these does not respond the solution needed.
Does someone know how I can manage this?
Thanks!!

There are two "Configuration item" fields in sc_req_item: cmdb_ci and configuration_item. Make sure that you are using the correct one. Either cmdb_ci.name=value or configuration_item.name=value should work, depending on which of the two fields you are using. cmdb_ci.value and cmdb_ci.display_value will not work as there are no fields on the record with these names. cmdb_ci.sys_id should work if you are supplying a sys_id (although it is redundant to type .sys_id for a reference field).
You should first verify your query through the ServiceNow UI before attempting to use it in an API call.
Type sc_req_item.list in the Filter navigator
On the filter list select "Show related fields"
Get your filter to work correctly
Right-click on the filter and select "Copy query"
The next step is to test it using the REST API Explorer.
Final step is to configure your client tool (PowerBI).
I have two select2 containers, which work together side-by-side. Both are ajax based selects, and the selected value of one of them, determines the results in the other.
My problem is the following: when I select the first of the two select boxes, and open up the second one, it is prepopulated with the correct search results. Yet, when I change the first select, and then reopen the second one, for a split-second, while the ajax request is sent for the new data from the second select option, the results that were shown previously are still visible and selectable.
For a concrete example, imagine the following two select boxes: one is for occupation, and the other contains names of persons. The intended use case would be, is to select an occupation in the first one, and then the second one will only list the persons with that occupation. If I select, for example doctor as the occupation, and then list the second one with all the doctors I get the correct result. But if I then reselect the first one, and change it to engineer, and re-open the second one, I will get the list of doctors for a split-second, before the ajax manages the load my engineers. I can even select a doctor, as an engineer, if I am quick enough.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour? IE: whenever I click on an ajax related select2, show me an empty list, or the "Searching" string, while the request to the server is made, and an answer is returned?
Select2 "caches" options retrieved by ajax inside the options of the original tag. To disable cache as you say, remove all those options just before the new option gets selected.
In practice, removing options before or after does not make a difference in your problem, but if you were to have this same problem in a single select (not combining two as you mention), you should do this with the event 'select2:selecting', instead of 'select2:select' event (Select2 events)
$('#select-occupation').select2({
...,
ajax: {
...
}
})
.on('select2:selecting', function(event){
console.log('actual value: ' + $(event.target).val());
$('#select-people').find('option').remove();
});
In Delphi, using Digital Metaphors' Report Builder, I'm creating a report that is grouped by a field (named "Section").
I would like the groups to be printed one after the other without breaks, unless another field (named "SectionType") has a certain value, in which case, the group must start on a new page.
I have tried to use the onGetBreakValue event with no success.
How can I achieve the desired behavior?
You need 2 groups on your report, first by "Section" then by "SectionType" under the Report -> Groups... (Ctrl+G) menu option in the report designer. There you can select the Start New Page for the "SectionType".
My program flow requires that I first set the value of a select option in the Viewmodel and then I load the available options into the Viewmodel. This causes problems, typically the first available option will be seen in the selection list after this, while the selected option value stays at the specified value.
I was hoping that setting the new "valueAllowUnset" would help, but instead my page becomes unresponsive when using it.
Therefore I currently set the original value again after loading the options. Strangely, this only works when I set the value, set a different value and then set the value again, e.g.
self.data()[field](orgValue);
self.data()[field]({});
self.data()[field](orgValue);
(I store values for multiple selection lists in the self.data observable and access them with the property index "field".)
I tried to strip this down to a simple JSFiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/timvdh/HN6DE/), but the behavior does not show there, although the example pretty much resembles my actual application. However, I am using about 30 select lists there.
So I was hoping, that someone can make an educated guess about what goes wrong in my application, I am hoping that the fact that I have to set the original value three times maybe gives a clue.
EDIT: This fiddle demonstrates, that setting the selected option before and after filling the options list does work with "valueAllowUnset": http://jsfiddle.net/timvdh/HT5Tp/
I am using JQuery Mobile with knockout.js and that caused the problem (sorry I did not even think about JQM being the problem in the first place). I am now setting the option before filling the list and after filling the list I call
$("#selectmenuID").selectmenu("refresh");
to display the option.
The hanging browser was not caused by knockout, there are additional subscriptions to the selectmenus in my app. "valueAllowUnset" changed the behavior of the selectmenus and triggered loops caused by problems in my code.

I have a TKinter GUI in Python 2.7.3 that includes a listbox, and there are circumstances where I'd like to directly modify the text of a specific item at a known index. I've scoured the documents and there's no lb.itemset() method or anything like it. As best I can tell I have two options, either of which would work but just seem kind of klunky to me:
lb.delete() the old item and lb.insert() the new value for it at the same index (including a step to re-select the new value if the old deleted one happened to be selected).
Create a listvariable for the listbox, then use get() and set() on it -- with a pile of replace/split/join acrobatics in between to handle the differing string formats involved.
Is there some simpler, more direct way to do it that I'm missing? Or have I turned up all the available options?
Assuming from silence that there's nothing I missed. I went with option 2 -- the acrobatics weren't quite as complex as I'd thought. I just created a behind-the-scenes list wrapped up in a class; every time I update the list, the class syncs up the content of the listbox by doing a ' '.join on the list then setting the listbox's listvariable to the resulting string.
