I'm not totally sure I follow, but I just want to make sure that your second lookup field is referencing the first? It needs to be watching the first lookup field
Thanks, Adam. My goal is not to store the entries from the first form, since it's really just being used as a jump-menu, allowing the user to select which type of vehicle, then forwarding them to the correct page and passing the url parameter of the vehicle type.
My issue may lie in the fact that I use a single form populated with the data options for both form 1 and form 2, and hoping filtering could be done at the url paramter level.
IE: User selects trucks from form 1, gets sent to the /trucks/ page, with an url paramter of /?vehicletype=trucks
Next, I was hoping to filter a dropmenu, to show all records in my master data table (same data as form 1, but now filtered to trucks only) and populate the dropdown with the truck brand, ie: Ford, Chevrolet, etc.
Did you ever get this working? I believe I have the same need.
.
I have "Form A" with postcodes and region data for those postcodes and "Form B" with a Unique list of those Regions and a number that will be used to show product availability for this Region.
The user enters a postcode in "Form C" and pulls the corresponding Region back. This is straightforward enough.
I want to use that returned Region to pull the corresponding value back from "Form B" as available "slots", showing the product's availability for that Region. Upon a successful sale from "Form C", I need to deduct "one" from this slot entry in "Form B" so I don't oversell.
It doesn't work to have the slot number in "Form A" when there are multiple references to the Regions associated with the postcodes, so "Form B" has a unique list of these Regions with a corresponding entry that I want to update holding a number for the product availability of that Region.
I hope you had any luck solving your problem, which sounds similar to what I need to achieve.
I know I'm kind of piggybacking on this post, but given that the use case is so close and you may have found a solution, I thought I would start here first.
Hi Paulus - I moved on to a different method without trying to work through a solution for this.
