    Hi, i have data in a linked table, however its not working as i need.


    example, 2 tables.  one is a subtable containing teams available for which days (monday  or friday)  (there is more to the table than this, but that is all that matters in this example.

    so team CROMWELLS may play on both monday and friday.  so there will be 2 rows in this subtable.

    the 2nd table captures the results for the games.

    so there are 2 columns that link to the sub table.

    however, when they are being populated, due to the fact that their are 2 rows in the sub table, teams appear twice.  limiting this to 1 isnt the issue.

    solution 1...

    so, instead of just showing team in the drop down...

    Table: LINK-Season-Day-Divison-Teams (id: 40), Show column: Team, Value from column: wdt_ID

    could it show division and team?

    Table: LINK-Season-Day-Divison-Teams (id: 40), Show column: Division, Team, Value from column: wdt_ID

    solution 2... (better)

    rather than show all of the subtable entries TEAMS, only provide those TEAMS that match the "day" column in the table 2 (that its being stored in)

    see screenshots for visual representation.

    Hi tr1mm0,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    Unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin build in features at the moment.
    We are working on Addon which will include "cascade" filtering so when you choose something in one select box other select box will have the values that are related to the first select box.

    Other solution will be to define the list for the select box but you will need to enter the values manually.
    More info in attachment.


    Best regards.

    Kind Regards,
