Working on the last module of the Becoming a ReactiveWeb Developer - Blocks Exercise, the last section of thePDF Triggering and Handling Events cannot get twothings to work:
1. Cannot place a dropdown widget in a container on theEmployeeDetail block.
2. The UpdateEmployee Client Action not updating thedepartment attribute (field) in the EmployeeDetail block. I did the exercise twice with the sameresults.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Jim Mueller.

Hi Marcelo, the same thing happens to me I did everything that is in the problem, the block combo is updated, but the list on the left is not updated, I downloaded the file you passed, and I see that if it is updated, I do not know I'm doing wrong or I still have to configure.
best regards
Hi Marcelo
I arrived to solve. it was one of the points that you said. the variable in dropdown that was wrong referenced
thanks
Hi James,
I did this exercise without any problem
1 - Why can't you place the dropdown? What you see on the service studio?
2 - This will only work after you have the dropdown. Do you have the correct variable in dropdown? are you saving the correct record on Employee_Update.
I attached my solution of this exercise.

Marcelo

Hi Marcelo,
I will give it another go and see what I was missing.

Hi Maroan,
Good to know you found the solution.
same issue here. Could fix one failure (assignment for variable (missing / overseen dot) but nevertheless it doesn't work. The left part of the screen is not updated.

Make sure the variable you use in the dropdown is the correct one: `GetEmployeeById.List.Current.Employee.DepartmentId`
I also had the same issue because I was incorrectly using this one `GetEmployeeById.List.Current.Department.Id`
