Example of Cascading dropdown

[Vidya]

Hi Alex,

DO you have an example on how to do a simple cascading drop down using your tool, i am having a hard time understanding the instructions. An example can be much faster to understand.

Thanks,
Vidya

yes i did, i tried and it didn’t work. Here is what i have done. I cannot show the real lists due to confidentiality.

My Base List Column
EMployeeName, EMployeeAddress, EmployeeState, EmployeeCity

My lookup list is similar to a State , city list. So i have list columns named State and City, with Values NJ, PA and MA and a City column with Values Trenton, Newark, Jersey City, Philadelphia, Boston etc

State City
NJ Trenton
NJ Trenton
PA Philadelphia
MA Boston

Comma separated list of fields in the lookup list
InternalNameforState, InternalNameForCity

Comma separated list of fields in the current list
InternalNameforEmployeeState,InternalNameforEmployeeCity

I’m not sure if I understood correctly, but the fields in your current list must all be single line of text and not dropdown choice.
