Cascading Drop Down Initial Filter

[Kasey]

There is either a bug or the enhancement request I submitted was not clear. Basically I am attempting to use one list for multiple cascading drop downs filtered by a column. When I use the cascading drop down tab or the manual JavaScript method I can only get one of the cascading dropdowns to work.

Problem:
If I remove either one of the below those two targeted fields work as expected. But when I have both in custom js the first field in the first casc works but the second field does not. Both of the fields in the second casc work as expected. It’s as if the first casc filter for the second field gets changed to the second casc. Please let me know if this doesn’t make sense or you need any additional information.

Example:
spjs.casc.init(
{
‘manualMode’:true,
‘lookupList’:’CascadingMaster’,
‘lookupListBaseUrl’:'{currentSite}’,
‘lookupListFields’:[“FieldValue”,”LookupValue”],
‘thisListFields’:[“Tier1″,”Tier2″],
‘dropDownDefaultvalue’:”,
‘filter’:'{“filterField”:”Title”,”filterValue”:”ProgramLookupTier1″,”operator”:”eq”}’,
‘hideEmptyDropdowns’:false,
‘autoselectSingleOption’:true,
‘clearInvalidSelection’:false,
‘debug’:false
}
);

spjs.casc.init(
{
‘manualMode’:true,
‘lookupList’:’CascadingMaster’,
‘lookupListBaseUrl’:'{currentSite}’,
‘lookupListFields’:[“FieldValue”,”LookupValue”],
‘thisListFields’:[“PillarLookup”,”SubPillar”],
‘dropDownDefaultvalue’:”,
‘filter’:'{“filterField”:”Title”,”filterValue”:”ProgramLookupPillarLookup”,”operator”:”eq”}’,
‘hideEmptyDropdowns’:false,
‘autoselectSingleOption’:true,
‘clearInvalidSelection’:false,
‘debug’:false
}
);

Hi,
I set up at test here, and it looks like it works as expected. Can you open the developer tools to see if you have any error messages there?

Please ensure you have loaded the correct version of SPJS-Casc in the “frontend” also.

I confirmed I’m using 3.7.1 Beta for front and back. Should I go back to 3.7.0?

Hi,
I have recreated the issue and have posted a new version here

Could you try it and let me know how it worked out?

This new version is throwing an error. I’m not sure if it is because I am using your last production version for everything else or not? This is the only beta file I am referencing.

Sorry about that – it was a typo in the query function for pre SP2013. I have updated the file.
