                                            | Good Morning,I have a report Parameter question.   I'm using a Multi Select for a String field (Multi-value is selected)I have "Allow Blank Value"  SelectedI'm using a data set for available valuesfor defualt values I need to have a value for blankI've selected <Blank>   manually typed it in but I've been un-successful on making it as a defualt.  Once you get to the view you can select the blank field but I cannot make it default to that.  Is there a trick to it ?Thanks |  |
