 ExampleExample: Let's suppose say we have two custom fields: one PCF-PRO - Single Autocomplete (let's name it "Continent") and one PCF-PRO - Multiple Autocomplete (let's name it "Countries"), the second one is populated depending on the value of the first one.

An easy example would beis following: we have a table ("countries") with two columns: country and continent. Our first field will select the continents and the second one will contain the countries from that continent.

You can see the corresponding data sources below.

The following data source for represents the first custom field:   

Code Block
select distinct continent from countries;


 The The following data source for represents the second custom field:   

Code Block
select country from countries where continent = {customfield_10800}


In The following result will be in the issue view screen, the result will look like this

Note

For the moment, dependent fields can only be used by the two custom fields with autocomplete, and can only be referred in SIL data sources.

From Power Custom Fields PRO 4.0.0, you can now use the dependent fields on SQL data sources as well.

In order to get the value set on the screen for one custom field, you will have to refer it like this: "argv[customfield_id]"
