I am trying cascading dropdown with query rules. I have this SAIL expression but it doesn't work: could you help me? Thanks!

Hi, you are right and now it works! My code is the following ("foods" is multiple, "choiceFoodType" and "fruitChoice" are single variables):
= a!formLayout(
label: "SAIL Example: Cascading Dropdowns",
firstColumnContents: {
a!dropdownField(
label: "Food Type",
choiceLabels: ri!foods,
choiceValues: ri!foods,
placeholderLabel: "--- Select Food Type ---",
value: ri!choiceFoodType,
saveInto: ri!choiceFoodType
),
if(
ri!choiceFoodType = "",
{},
a!dropdownField(
label: "Fruits",
choiceLabels: rule!getFailureDescription(
ri!choiceFoodType
),
choiceValues: rule!getFailureDescription(
ri!choiceFoodType
),
placeholderLabel: "--- Select Fruit Type ---",
value: ri!fruitChoice,
saveInto: ri!fruitChoice
)
)
},
buttons: a!buttonLayout(
primaryButtons: a!buttonWidgetSubmit(
label: "Submit"
)
)
)
One strange behavior I notice is the following: I choose in 1st dropdown one value (ex. "Fruits"), in the 2nd I have filtered values (ex."Banana","Orange"). I select "Orange" and then I come back to the 1st dropdown and I change to another value (ex. "Vegetables"). It show a message "The Requested Task Is Not Available
The task may have been deleted or completed by another assignee.", but noone has taken the task because I am the only one in my test environment: maybe is it an error in my code? Thanks again!
