Intersection of groups option in flex display not working #146

Open mtirfan66 opened 2 years ago

mtirfan66 commented 2 years ago

The Intersection of Groups option is not working in Flex Display. Please refer to the screenshot below.

Purpose of this feature: I would like to use this feature to pick the countries common to two or more groups. For example, the SSA countries that are also LMIC.

Desired behavior: When this option is selected the “Geography” list box need to be populated with all groups. The user should be able to pick multiple groups. The plot vector (i.e., graphs and tables) needs to be loaded with countries common to all of these groups. When there is not any country that belongs to all of the selected groups, a message needs to be shown to the user. To keep it simple, the feature can limit the number of groups that can be selected.

I think this is working as expected in vb6, maybe confusing that the option is enabled when using countries or plain groups, so I have disabled it, so that it works only with decomposed groups and g-lists.

On .NET it was too hard to disable the menu option, so I haven't but also found problems related to the Core-Groups, I will ask Cory to look at it.

Cory, if you uncheck the Core Group option, then the feature works fine in .NET, I think it has to do with the re-calculation of the indices for the groups.

Great. Thanks. I agree that the confusion is arising out of the simultaneous selection of Using Country or groups. I guess there would be a message asking user to select Decomposed Group or Glist first, when the "Using Intersection..." is elected without first selecting those two. A better solution for a situation like that might be to automatically checkmark the Using Decomposed Group sub-menu and to populate the Geography list box with groups,

Just adding a note this is now being looked at, I will check out the bug with core groups and send a fix soon.

Thank you Cory,

This is working well for .NET now, I’m not going to close the issue because Mohammod suggested some interactions to improve it, but I will change the priority to a 1.
