Cascading dropdown in Nintex Workflow Cloud task form


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

I need to filter the options of a child dropdown based on the selected value of a parent dropdown. In the backend, I have data tables that establish a relationship between the parent and child tables.

Could you let me know if it is feasible to implement cascading dropdowns in a Nintex Workflow Cloud task form? If so, could you guide me on how to achieve this?

Hi ​@vamshibudarapu ,

I think this is the configuration piece you’re looking for:

 

This works very similarly to how it would in On Prem Nintex or SPO.  Basically you set a condition on the second data lookup control based on the first control’s value.

Hi Brentt,

 

Thank you for the response. Currently the data lookup I need to set for data stored in Nintex data tables. When am trying to configure data lookups, it is asking for connector and not able to see the Nintex tables. Can I know how to configure data lookup to the Nintex tables and filter second lookup control based on first control.

Ahhh, sorry I missed the table piece initially.  Slightly different setup with a similar concept.  In the Data Variables section you should see an option for Table Data.  Create a variable with the column you want to use to filter the second set of data and then use it as the Options in a Choice Control:

 

 

 

You’ll have to drill down into the rows collection and select the property to add as the options.  After that create a second table data variable filtered on the value of the choice control.  Then use the same process to put it in the options for a second choice control:
