Dynamic Drop Down Lists (dependent on another one)

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am new with VC and do not know how to go on.

There is 1 table, consisting of 2 columns, each column with a drop-down list. I would like to make the second one dependent on the first one. So when I e.g. select in drop-down list number one the value "A" I would like to have in the second drop-down list just the values, that fit to the value "A" of drop-down list number one. I hope, you understand what I want to do.

My question: Is that possible?

Thank you all in advance for your answer!

Hi F.L,

Yes this is possible, for this you would need to create two Data services (Remote enabled FMs) which would return the values in the tables.

i.e. first FM will simply return all the values from the first column and

second FM should accept a value from the first column and return the value from the second column based the parameter entered.

Now use these data services to create two dynamic dropdowns, if you select the proper input and output values while creating the dropdown lists you will achieve the desired result.

For more details have a look at this link.

Let me know if this does not clear your doubt.

Rk.
