Need to understand the Cascading of Drop down concept when data is from DB tables.

Hi,
Could someone help me understand the concept and solve my below problem?

I have a Two tables

1. VehicleTypes
Field
Id   category
1    Cars
2    Buses
3   Trains

2nd table SubVehicleTypes

SubID Id SubCategory
1         1     Sedan
2         1     Suv
3         2     Luxury
4         2     Semi luxury
5         3     Ac Trains
6         3     Non Ac Trains


Requirements:
1. Drop Down 1 will have data from Table 1
2. Drop Down 2 will have data from Table 2

When I select category from DD1 the second DD2 should give Subcategory based on ID(Common in both Tables).

Thanks
Faisal

  • This is my Raw code

    a!localVariables(
    local!vehicleTypeData:rule!FF_Exp_VehiclesTypes(VehicleId:null),
    local!vehicleSubTypeData:rule!FF_Exp_VehiclesSubTypes(subId:null),
    local!vehicleType,
    local!vehicleSubType,
    {
    a!dropdownField(
    label: "Dropdown",
    labelPosition: "ABOVE",
    placeholder: "--- Select a Value ---",
    choiceLabels: local!vehicleTypeData.category,
    choiceValues: local!vehicleTypeData.id,
    saveInto: {},
    searchDisplay: "AUTO",
    validations: {}
    ),
    a!dropdownField(
    label: "Dropdown",
    labelPosition: "ABOVE",
    placeholder: "--- Select a Value ---",
    choiceLabels: local!vehicleSubType,
    choiceValues: local!vehicleSubType,
    saveInto: {},
    searchDisplay: "AUTO",
    validations: {}
    )
    })

  • I'd suggest looking at the docs page for cascading dropdowns. Basically you will need to filter the results of your second list based on the selection from your first list, so you'll need a query that filters your sub-category by the category provided.
