I woud like to make 3 dropdown that can reload data in a sequence.

Make three dependent dropdowns reload data sequentially in ChronoForms.

Overview

The problem occurs because when the first dropdown triggers a reload of the second dropdown, the second dropdown loses its ability to trigger the reload event for the third dropdown.
Use the Load Options listener action for each dropdown and wait for the upcoming ChronoForms update, which includes a fix for this event-triggering issue.

Hi, Max

I have created 3 dropdowns with linked information. When selecting data from dropdown 1, data in dropdown 2 will be reloaded with the reload option(value change event trigger from dropdown 1). Then, when selecting data in dropdown 2, dropdown 3 will reload data in the same way as well.

What happens is that if dropdown 2 is selected before dropdown 3, the data will be reloaded correctly as normal. But if dropdown 1 is selected first, which will cause dropdown 2 to be reloaded, after this dropdown 3 will not respond to the reload option command again.

From what I have tested, it is found that dropdown 3 does not reload because if dropdown 2 is reloaded, dropdown 2 will not be able to trigger the set event again.Is this is normally or not and do you have any solution?

Regards,

Hi Kittisak

Do you use the Reload or the Load Options as the Listener action in your Listener settings ?

Hi Max

I use Load Options as the Listener action for both.

Can you prepare a simple test form with the issue so that I can test it with your setup ?
