Updating a Drop-down list when another drop-down list selected value changes

Yehuda Lando asked on April 3, 2014 15:47

Hi,

I have a document type with two drop-down lists. One is holding the value of the main type, and the second is holding the value of a sub type. The main type is either 1 or 2, and according to that I select the available sub types, like this: select DataID, Name from Ativ_ToolType where [Type] = {?InfoType.Value?}

InfoType is the field that is holding the main type.

When I change the default main type, it loads the correct sub types, but when I change the main type with the drop down, I get a postback, but the values stay the same. I did this with the beta of Kentico 8, and it worked correctly. I have "Has depending fields" and "Has depending fields" setup correctly.

Thanks

Using {%Column%} is a querystring macro. Are you sure you don't mean to use a context macro {%Column%}

I thought about it. Before {%?} worked, but now I tried both ({?%} and {%%}) and neither works. It does load the correct values for the first time, which get's me to believe the marco does work, but when updated the values don't get updated.

Actually, I used ?InfoType? when I had the beta version of Kentico 8 (without the {})

I've got exactly the same issue (using a context macro). Did this ever get resolved?

But there was a bug in one of the latest hot fixes where this didn't work at all.
