Cascading fields

Cascading fields are a special type of field available with AdsManager Silver or Gold pack. This allows for the content of fields to depend on another. For example: you have two dropdown lists where users select a country and then a city. With cascading, when the user selects a country the list of available cities changes to match the selected country.

First, create the drop down parent field that will contains the parent values.

Then, Create a new field and select the type 'Cascade' in the list.

In the options of the field, you need to specify the name of the parent field.

Tips: you can copy the name of the parent field in the field list to avoid typing error

Then, you need to set the values of the field to cascade on, you can fill these values the same way as you would for the parent field. The parent column need to be filled with one of the value of the parent field. When displayed, the values displayed in the list will be filtered using the parent value, so the parent value must exist in the parent field, otherwise, the value will never be displayed. Tips: It is not mandatory to assign all the parent field values. If a prent field value doesn't have any child, then the cascade field will be disabled for this value.
