If you want to populate two items at two different times using the same list of values, as the LOV destination property can not be changed dynamically, you need two LOV - but they can ue the same record_group.

If you want to populate two items from the same LOV at one time, then just define the two output items.

Hi

If you want to use the same LOV in more than one TEXT ITEM then,
in LOV wizard under "COLUMN DISPLAY" tab's "RETURN VALUE" field,
give the global variable name as

"Global.G_field_name"

You don't need to declare this Global Variable any where else.

Now in your program logic implement this way:

Declare

status boolean;
v_value datatype;

Begin

status = Show_Lov('LOV_NAME');

/*
Show_Lov is a built-in which returns either True or False
based whether you selected some value from LOV or canceled it.
*/

v_value := :Global.G_field_name;
or
:Text_Field_Name := :Global.G_Field_name;

End;

For reference see the screen shot attached.

Best of Luck

I had never considered using a 'global' for this purpose. Thank you. I will add your suggestion to my repertoire.
