Cascading Dropdown
Hello, I have read the information on conditional and cascading dropdowns. I'm wondering if there is a different way to accomplish the data entry illustrated in this example. On a single form, we would like user to be able to create and add events, enter various data about the event, choose a Category for the event from a dropdown list, then choose a Subcategory from a dropdown list that is dependent on the Category chosen. So far I have - Category and Subcategory tables related to the parent tables (one to many) and to each other - a grid edit form with the Category dropdown working properly - but the Subcategory dropdown shows <Browse Choices> instead of the desired list of Subcategories, when <Browse Choices> is selected a pop-up window displays instead of a dropdown list. Is there a way to get the conditional dropdown menu to show up in the grid edit - perhaps using a different method completely, such as shared fields? Thank you! ------------------------------ Anne-Claire Markle ------------------------------Re: Conditional Drop Down Set Up
Hi. Resurrecting this question... We are similarly trying to have cascading dropdown menus - many identical entries on a single form to avoid going to a record creation window each time. Is it really not possible to use a table to populate a dropdown menu without creating a connection between the elements of the dropdown and the individual records? This seems like a basic data entry scenario. ------------------------------ Anne-Claire Markle ------------------------------
