Issue:

You assigned a lookup parameter and action to a dynamic block. You then inserted the block and made a lookup selection from the table. You noticed that sometimes there is a check mark in front of that selection while other times the check mark is placed in front of the custom selection. You want to know why this occurs.

Solution:

Solution

The custom selection is associated with the Unmatched input property. When the parameter values in a block reference do not match a row of input property values defined in the lookup table, the lookup property value that corresponds to Unmatched is assigned to the block reference. The default value is Custom, but you can specify another value by changing it in the table.
