Prepopulate second dynamic dropdown

prepopulate a second dynamic dropdown on form load.

Overview

The second dropdown is initially empty because its data source is only triggered by a reload event from the first dropdown.
Add both the reload event data source and the initial prepopulation data source to the second dropdown's Options field.

Hi!

I've a form with two dynamic dropdown. Drop1 is prepopulated with {var:read_data4}. Drop2 is empty, when the user select a value of drop1 it is populated by a reload event with the value of {var:read_data5}. Everything is ok.

Now i need to prepopulate drop2 with all values when form is loaded. I can made another read (es: read_data6) and put {var:read_data6} in the "Options" field of the dropdown instead of read_data5, but so the reload event will not work anymore.

Any idea? Thank you!

Hi Pigna,

Leave {var:read_data5} in the options of drop2, but add after it {var:read_data6}, this will run both of them.
