So please follow these steps :

  • Define mapping between « case type » & « priority »:

    This really is a very elegant solution, I missed two quotes (') on the first attempt but after that it worked like a charm! I had a look at the imported js script and it looks like it's all gobbled up in unreadable characters?!? Maybe it is just me, I like to understand why things are... Again many thanks, Aad (aad@cubeconsulting.nl)

    I am getting the same error as mentioned by Sanjeev. This is happening in IE version 9. For version 8, it works fine.

    Works like a charm. Thank you. Iain, did you ever find a solution for the 3 way pick list or even 2 sets of pick lists? Can anyone explain why you can't run 2 sets of dependent picklists on the same form, eg: Picklist (Case, CaseType) as one, and Picklist2 (classification and sub_classification) as a second one. It seems that the picklist2 declared last, wins and overwrites the intial picklist1. Help appreciated.

    You can do this. You need to include all the xml data in the same web resource and it will work. Do not create separate web resource for dependent options. If you do then the last web resource would win. Since it's a XML web resource all you have to do is to combine picklist1 and picklist 2 information. Charith

    I'm having an issue in that when I save an Opportunity (where I'm using this solution) it runs all workflows associated with the opportunity and it executes the stages in the workflow associated with the picklist. Example: selling_stage set to to deposit received previously. If I re-save the opp (say I change the topic) it reruns the workflow for deposit received and the triggers for it are set to on change and on creation, so it should not be running. I disable the picklist option and it works fine.

    I managed to get two different sets of dependent picklists working on the same form by combining the XML in to one web resource. I'm still testing, but I have noticed that the OnLoad event takes a big performance hit by doing so however. The form load time is much longer now.
