Reference field with a dependency with a dot-walk

We have a reference field that we'd like to automatically filter based on a reference field in the parent record.

When setting the Dependent Field field to a dot-walked value, no filtering happens.

Is there a way to use a dot-walk Dependent Field or will this need to be accomplished via GlideAjax?

You are able to use a dot-walk dependency on a Field Name field type.

As far as I know dot walking is not supported by dependent fields. You can go for a reference qualifier to filter refrence field results. Check if you can dot walked to the desired field using simple reference qualifier otherwise you will have to write script include and call that from advance reference qualifier.

I hope that helps!

I was able to accomplish this with a reference qualifier, thank you.

For others, here is what I did as an advanced reference qualifier:

javascript:'u_web_service_query=' + current.u_run_web_service_after.u_parent_web_service_query;

Hello krr,

Wanted to know if you could explain your reference qualifier? I am trying to do a very similar thing. Will greatly appreciate it.
