Using the selected value of one user filter and fetch the other user filte dependent on the first

I am working on a simple record dsiplay example I have 4 companies as a make of car and each company has different models. In the records I want to select the make first and then the models filter is filled with the value of models specific to that company. Check the attached files for details.

  • As far as I know you cannot pass context (values) between User filters in a Record, which appears to be what you asking. Yes, that would seem a valuable thing to be able to do, but, no, you can't do it (yet - having had a quick look at the Appian backlog this is a requested feature but there is no associated Release of Appian for this)

    You do still have choices though. You can make a custom User interface and implement the ;cascading filters' pattern there, with your list of Makes and Models in conventional dropdowns, and the list exposed in a grid field. If you need this list to act as if it were a list of Records (i.e. be able to click on a link in one of the rows and navigate to a Record view) you can add record links to the rows. So in effect you'd be writing your own Record List view.
