Two Multivalue Lists, Second One Identical to First EXCEPT Selection in List 1?

[-CraigZ-]

Running Inventor Pro 2019 and Vault Workgroup 2019 (no service packs yet).

I have some iLogic rules made to create multivalue lists in a part file. Is there a way I can make a second multivalue list that's identical to the first one EXCEPT the value from list 1 is removed?

For example, List 1 has A,B and C in the multivalue list. If I select A, then List 2 only has B and C in the multivalue list?

I need to do something similar to this, except the list has about 100 items in it.

Thanks!

@-CraigZ-,

Try below iLogic code to update List_B on selection of List_A. It means that List_B is regenerated with new multi value list.

If List_A = "A" Then
	MultiValue.SetList("List_B", "B", "C")
 	List_B = "B"
Else If List_A = "B" Then
	MultiValue.SetList("List_B", "A", "C")
 	List_B = "A"
Else If List_A = "C" Then
	MultiValue.SetList("List_B", "A", "B")
 	List_B = "A"
End If

Thanks and regards,

I totally would do this if it was a short list, however the list is every wide flange beam size from 4" to 40", so there are well over 100 sizes in there.

I did make the original multivalue list in iLogic with the multivalue.setlist code (even though I'm sure I could have done it a better way probably through excel, but I'm still fairly new to this and haven't got into excel stuff yet) but if there's 150 beam sizes in there, I'd need to make 150 different lines of multivalue.setlist commands to do it that way. Was hoping there would be a better way to just say "fill list 2 with the same values as list 1, except don't include the selected value in list 1"

I might be thinking about this the wrong way too. I'm considering simplifying the selections by just making it do something different if the user selects the same value in both list 1 and 2.

Will give this a try next week and mark it as accepted if it works for my situation. Currently have found a way around it (the way I mentioned at the end of my last post), but this would be good knowledge for me in the future!

Thanks,
