Dependent lookup fields in Cuba studio 7

Support
#1

Hello i would like to make a field’s lookup options dependent on the value selected from another lookup field.

For example i have 3 tables with the following attributes:

  1. Department: department,subunit(composition inverse attribute)
  2. Subunit: subunit
  3. Employee: department(lookupicker field), subunit(lookuppicker field)

In the above scenario subunit is a composition attribute in department.

In employee editor how do i make lookup options for subunit field show only subunits related to the department chosen from the department lookuppicker field?

You need something called the DataLoadCoordinator facet.

Thanks this is exactly what i needed. The automatic configuration for the DataLoadCoordinator works perfectly.
