Hi, I'd like to know if the following functionality exists in Forms:
I have a cascading list with four tiers. For certain selections, if I populate the second tier with some value (e.g. A), there is only one selection for the third and fourth tier. I would like to auto-populate the third and fourth tier in such situation, so that user does not have to click multiple times to fill up the third and fourth tier.
I tried writing a script to check the value of the binding in the second tier matches some value (e.g. A), then "Change a Value" for the bindings of the third and fourth tier to the intended value, but this script was unsuccessful.
Thanks!
Hi *** Yi Koh,
Here is an example that works:
I created 2 dropdown controls: first one with A,B,C,D values to choose from; second with E,F
With the following action(script) when I select value B in first dropdown, the second is auto-populated with value E:
This is a sample for 2 tiers, but similarly you can populate the other tiers, just add more line in "to do" actions. Let me know how it goes.
Best regards,

Hi Alexandru,
Understand that this script works with dropdown control. I am referring to using the "Advanced Control: Cascading List", for which it doesn't work.
Here is your particular example using Cascading List:
1. Created the following list group. On this example selecting Tier 1 ->A and Tier 2 -> F, Tier 3 should get I and Tier 4 should get J
2. Created the form using Cascading List:
3. Added the following script:
4. result:
I hope this helps.
Alex B.
Thank you for the detailed explanation! Somehow I can't get it to work:The following is my script:
and it does not auto-fill. Perhaps I am doing something incorrectly?
Check the bindings on each cascading list. Here is how they look in my example.
Could you share a snap shoot of your excel list group?
Please see my sample screenshots. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, appreciate the advice. Thanks!
Hi *** Yi,
As I have access to your testing project.
I found that there is a space in the "Design Issue " in the condition in the action.
So you must remove the space, make only "Design Issue"
It should work, I tried in your project. Can you check it?

Hi Indrawan and Alexandru,
Ah I see, silly me. Thanks so much both for your help!
You're welcome! Thanks Indra for spotting that!
