Cascading filter problem

Annika Aaltonen

Hi all,

I'm trying to set up a Cascading filter, but can't get it to work.

 

My reports that this filter should run on are on the task_sla and sc_req_item table. We have two choice type fields on the sc_req_item table (inherited from task table) called u_product_category and u_product_subcategory, where the latter one's possible values are dependent on the first one's value. 

 

Now I want to create a cascading filter where you first select the u_product_category, and  then in the second filter you now have a list of options to select ONLY from the choices in u_product_subcategory which have dependent value == your selection for u_product_category.

 

I tried different approaches but nothing seems to work so far. The filter for u_product_category seems fine but the logic breaks around the filter for u_product_subcategory.

 

This is what my "parent" cascading filter looks like:

find_real_file.png

 

This was my first attempt at the "child" cascading filter:

find_real_file.png

Since that doesn't work (I only get option 'All' under the filter for Product Subcategory), I attempted the following approach:

find_real_file.png

Also not working... It just says Loading failed. Is it something I'm missing here? Or is this even possible?

TIA,

Annika

Hi Annika,

Unfortunately, cascading interactive filter works only on Reference fields, not on Choices.
