Record based dropdown component: filter not updating

I am trying to create a record based dropdown component with a filter (shown below), where the filter value changes based on a different dropdown component.

local!msSealType is the variable updated by the other dropdown component (via an a!save in that component) and can be either "S" or "D". The sealType field in the record type I'm using is either "D" or "B".

I am trying to filter the options in this dropdown component based on the selection of the other dropdown, but it seems like the filter value is not updating. No matter how local!msSealType changes the dropdown values never change.

I have confirmed that both data types are text.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

The record based dropdown filter issue has been resolved in Appian 24.1 according to Appian Support (I've only done some limited testing of this but it does seem to be working now).

Do you see the value of local!msSealType changing? Just to be on the safe side.

I never tested whether a!recordData automatically refreshes in this scenario.

I did a small test and see the same behaviour you described. I suggest to open a support case and report this.

Stefan,

I have confirmed that local!msSealType does change how I expect it to.

Thank you for investigating this, I will open a support case.

Thanks,

Jack

Hello,

I'm encountering the same bug, is it going to be corrected or do you have any tips to overcome this. Like creating a second interface called by the first one ? What do you think ? 

any answer would be appreciated, have a nice day,
