Dynamic Block - Double Lookup - Custom?

I created a dynamic block with a double lookup. It's working nicely, however, I'm seeing a Custom option on both Visibility State options.

Custom appears in the two individual Lookups as well as both Lookups in the Double Lookup.

I found out the hard way if I delete the word Custom from everywhere it appears, I lose the two visibility state grips when the block is inserted. Which ones do I need to remove to get rid of both Custom options?

 

Thanks

Custom is showing up because the as-drawn default parameter values do not match a row on the table.  Make the as-drawn default state of the block match a row on the lookup table and custom will no longer show on the tables.  

 

Post the block if you need further assistance.

Thank you so much for your reply Libbya! If I follow you correctly, my block is saved with a default visibility state of 1-1 which is included in the double lookup tables.

 

Here's my first single lookup table:

My second single lookup table:

My double lookup input table:

My double lookup output table:

As I mentioned in my op, I unsuccessfully tried deleting the word Custom in various combinations. Either the block loses the two grips when inserted so it has no dynamic functionality or it defaults to Custom at both visibility options.

 

Thanks!

The position of INPUT X needs to be 1 in your block. The same with INPUT Y

If either one of them is not 1 you will get the custom value.

If it is a Point Parameter you are using make sure it's "X" and "Y" positions are 1

Ok, I follow now. Yes, I am using a point parameter. I moved it's physical location in my block to 1,1 and 'Custom' is gone! I had no idea it's location had anything to do with how the dynamic block functioned.

 

Thank you both so much for your help, it is greatly appreciated!
