Multi select casscading dropdown

[Bryan R Babbitt]

Hi Alex,

I have a multi tier multi-select box. On the edit form when I add an additional choice to the first option the additional boxes clear what was previously there. Is there a way to have those choices not clear when selecting your choices from the top multi-select tear.

Thanks for any assistance,
Bryan

I did a quick test and suspects that you might have selected the wrong field type for the multiline placeholder field – it must be Multiple lines of text – plain text and NOT “Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)”.

PS: This will only fail if you use Internet Explorer because this old type of rich text only works in IE.

Hi Alex,
I verified that all of my Fields were marked as multi text and in plain text which was correct however in the plug in for the cascading drop-down I did have in the mix some single line that was an old feel that I wasn’t going to be using any longer but was required field I suspect that is what was causing the issue because they were very similar to the new Fields I was using. after removing those fields and then copying the plugin from the new form and Payson it over to the edit form it seemed to correct the issue.

However I did not change anything on the new form which never seemed to have an issue so I am not sure what the issue was between the two cascading lookups from the new form to the edit form.

I’m glad you got it sorted out.
