Dependent Pick list not working...

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by USA80 2

I have a dependent option set created (the xml and the init).  When I go to the parent field and put something in there, the next field becomes unlocked but has not options listed.  I do have the field(s) in the comma Handler Properties for the parameters and I do have the xml in the parameter section when form loads.  When I check the box for Pass execution context as first parameter, the options now show, but not correctly.  When I uncheck the box, nothing shows in the list again.  I am not getting any errors either. 

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Sorry one other issue that just came up.  When I have the below criteria, the Child field remains locked even though I picked a Report Type of either Automated or On-Demand.

    then uncheck the "strict selection" checkbox, it will allow you to select options under more than 1 category.

    It is like that once I select the option for Commercial, those options I can't select again, when I need to.

    When I do that and go to commercial and pick everything but 1, then move to Medicare Part D, there is only one option to chose when I actually need all the options from Commercial plus 1 more.  Then Medicaid is everything but 1, same for the other 2.

    ok,

    first remove all the dependencies expect the first (you use the X in the top right corner) so you have just the first 1

    now on the first dependency you only selected the items for "Commercial", you need to open the dropdown for "Medicare PartID" and select the items there, after for "Medicaid" and go on until "Exchange".

    The Preview section will help you to check if the selections are working as you plan before you update the JSON.

    I don't know how you are selecting the items inside my generator, but because you have just two fields (nhs_recordtype and nhs_programtype) you need to add a just a single dependency, and inside each dropdown (the ones just under the "strict selection" checkbox) select the items you want to display.

    in case you don't fix, post a screenshot
