I’m setting up a table with 5 main columns.
1 is an EnumList, Ref base type
The other 4 are selections for the user to filter down the reference list.
These 4 are Enums with Valid_If expressions to generate lists from 4 different columns in the referenced table.
If I select something from one of the 4 dropdowns, I of course want the other dropdowns filtered, which is automatically done via Appsheet’s “dependent dropdown” feature.
However, I want all 4 columns to be visible from the start, and the user doesn’t need to select something from the 4 columns if they don’t want. The dependent dropdown feature hides all subsequent columns until something in selected in the previous column.
So I replaced the basic Valid_If = Table[Column] expression, with a SELECT(Table[Column] , TRUE), which disables the dependent dropdown feature. And surprisingly, this is actually detailed in the Appsheet help article, wow!
But this not only disabled the column hiding, it also disabled the filtering. So I guess now I’m stuck with writing big multi-condition select expressions for each column?
I would like to somehow be able to disable the hiding of subsequent fields when using Appsheet’s dependent dropdown.
