    1. Please explain that. What is "selection" and what is "dependent" ?

    2. I use saveInto in buttons a lot with a a list of a!save() to manipulate data before submitting. Like set the create timestamp or the user who created the new item.

    I'm going to assume you mean "Selection" in the context of a grid.

    Then see this documentation

    https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/grid-with-selection-pattern.html

    And in regards to SaveInto parameter for a Button..

    See this documentation

    https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/Button_Component.html#parameters

    SaveInto is used to perform a Save or Write action to save a value to a local variable, rule input, or execute a write to a backend data store.

    Hi Malcom,

    I will go through the document on Grids. I was face issues in dependent data selection ,like cascading DD and in Report selection one chart series and to display the related data in grid.

    Hi [mention:56cb3e8fc3724baca774072c99d7f8ca:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05],

    I think you're searching for a drill-down option in the report & hope the below documentation works for that:
