Combo box default value display problem

0
I have a display issue with a combo box.In my domain model, there is a Node entity that stores a value attribute — this value holds the ID of a Ruleset entity returned from a nanoflow. However, I want my <select> (combo box) to display the Ruleset name instead of the ID. The problem is that when I reopen the page, the combo box initially shows the Ruleset ID as the default value, not the Ruleset name. Has anyone encountered this issue before? How can I make the combo box correctly display the Ruleset name even when the value stored is the Ruleset ID?       My mendix version is 10.24.8   Thanks in advance!

Use an Association instead of ID

  1. In your domain model:

    • Create an association → Node_RuleSet (between Node and RuleSet).

    • Remove the plain string attribute storing RuleSet ID (optional).

  2. In your page Combo Box:

    • Data source: RuleSet entity (XPath or nanoflow).

    • Display attribute: RuleSetName (or Name).

    • Value (reference): Node_RuleSet.

  3. In your nanoflow (when RuleSet is selected):

    • changeObject(NodeObj, { Node_RuleSet: selectedRuleSet });

  4. When you reopen the page, Mendix automatically loads the associated RuleSet and displays its Name instead of ID.

I asked the Mendix support team and found out that turning off lazy loading in the Advanced tab is enough to get it working.
