POW workspace specific Picklist

HI All,

I dont know POW. I am supporting a customer who had another consultant building their POW.
I have a problem. There is a dropdown list on 1 of the measure in POW.
But there is no picklist in the cube. So it must be defined somewhere in POW. I cannot find it.

Also, I tried putting a picklist on that measure (using attributes) . It did not work!!!!!
I put a picklist on another measure of the same cube, it worked in Architect, but did not appear in POW.

I am completely puzzled by POW.
Thanks for ANY help. I will take it.

PAW doesn't have any special way of defining picklists, it works the same way across all interfaces.

However, in all interfaces, a picklist that is defined via a picklist CUBE (this will show in control objects as }Picklist_<Your Cube Name> ) will always take priority over anything you define with an attribute picklist. So based on what you have said, I expect there is a picklist cube that is defined.

THANK YOU Declan.
YES, indeed it was a picklist cube. I did not even look at the control cubes, when I did not see a picklist in the attribute.
Shame on me.
Thanks a million
