Tell us what you are trying to do?

In a previous thread, I managed to create a view of post titles, saving a post id using a dropdown:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/dropdown-of-post-titles-saving-post-id/

This is working fine, however, I have realised that when the system has a lot of items, this is going to be a bit user unfriendly, so I would like to add some kind of filter using the taxonomy item-category (heirarchical) so that the user can first choose the item-category, and then the dropdown would only contain the items from that category.

I was thinking this would be best as another dropdown.

Any ideas how to implement this?

Whoops. I have changed the way I am doing this. The field is now a parent field, so I don't use the custom code from the previous thread.

Instead I now wish to filter the parent fields available in the dropdown by using the item-category taxonomy. Is there a way to do this?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - there is no option to build dependent dropdown with CRED form and it will require custom programming which is eventually beyond the scope of our support policy.

If you need custom programming for your project, please feel free to contact our certified partners.
