Updating a drop down list after running service that deletes an entry

[anon-2015]

I'm using the search service ('SC_6') to populate a Drop Down list.

The user makes a selection and clicks the button 'Delete Selection'; this executes the delete service ('SC_4') that removes the entry.

Once the deletion service has completed, I'd like the drop down to refresh in order to reflect the modified list.

I thought creating an event listener for SC_4 and upon success, firing SC_6 would subsequently update the list, however this is not working. The [deleted] value remains as the user selection.

Could it be I need to do something with the 'beforeOptionsUpdate' event on the drop down list?

Yes. In beforeOptionsUpdate put "return false;"

This changes the behavior of the field and how it processes being populated from a service call. By default, the service values are appended. This setting will reset the field and insure that only those values returned by the service are populated as options.
