Cascading Dropdown off of autocomplete

[Skyforum]

Is it possible to create a cascading dropdown from an autocomplete entry? If not, why?

[HongTaiLang]

Cascading dropdown doesn’t work if the parent field is an “autocomplete†or a “textfieldâ€. It can be achieved by coding

1. Create a field(FieldName1) as text type for inserting

2. Insert a HTML Block. For passing the parameter, create a button to trigger

<button id="button" type="button">Click Me!</button>

3. Create a virtual dropdown field(cbParamVirtual1) as "Hidden" to receive the value from the previous field, this is the parent dropdown

4. Create a Cascading Dropdown to pull the related values

5. Insert the following code to pass the value from Text field to Virtual Dropdown field.

<script>
function drop(){
document.getElementsByName('cbParamVirtual1')[0].value = document.getElementsByName('FieldName1')[0].value;
document.getElementsByName('cbParamVirtual1')[0].onchange();
}
document.getElementById("button").onclick=drop;
</script>

Hi,

To add some information from the previous comment above, Cascading autocomplete is now available in the standard feature of Caspio. You can refer to this link: https://howto.caspio.com/datapages/datapage-components/cascading-elements/
