KB36122: How to Programmatically Modify the Prompt Definition to Change the Web Display Properties using the MicroStrategy Java Web SDK 9.3.1

Using the Strategy Java Web SDK 9.3.1, it is possible to programmatically modify a prompt definition to change the Web display properties.  This is beneficial to users who are upgrading from a previous version and want to change some of the display settings that didn't exist previously.
 
In this example, the following display properties were not selected in a prompt that was created in a previous version: 
 

 
 
After modifying the prompt programmatically, these options will now be selected as shown below:
 

 
Use the followng code to programmatically change these properties:
