Hello seb-team,
some questions:
1. In your example at step three, shouldn't it read table: cities instead of counties?
2. My use-case, and I predict many others too, needs to have a DISTINCT list in the name List. I use the SQL-Query for that. It would be nice, if there were a check-up for that in the Construction area too.
3. Is it necessary to have different tables for the D. Cascade? Then I would alter the db-structure. I can't get it to work yet, if the fields are located in the same table.
Regards
Hans-Georg

Hello dodenau,

thank for your comment.


1. you have good eyes! thank, it's corrected

2. I advise you to post your request in the tracker, please.

3. No, it was simply for the example. For a new example, you can work only with the Joomla categories table for all select or any other table. You simply have to make the good request.


Best regards.

Lionel

Thank you Lionel,
but after trying the whole weekend to get it to work, I couldn't...
Given: Only one table (#__cck_store_form_kfz3); in it: id, brand, model, and of course other fields
In that table: field "brand" has not unique values and field "model" has not unique values too.
All I could get was under "construction mode": Start: OName=brand; OValue=id 
and End: OName=model; OValue=id; Parent=id
a select in the search form with multiple entries of the same brand and the associated model to that brand record I choose out of the list of same entries.
That's of course not what I needed but even there, I got no result of the search, saying "There is no result".
Question one: This Dynamic Cascade is Part of a "Select-Dynamic" which gathered after the cascade other Select-Simples to find the proper selection. Is this possible (using CCK(Select-Dynamic) of core as first field)? Or is the Cascade only working alone?
Question two: With free Query: 
SELECT DISTINCT brand AS text
FROM #__cck_store_form_kfz3
ORDER BY brand ASC; 
and OValue=id
I get a unique list of brands but loosing the chain to field "model".
I think, I have tried all the combinations by try and error changing ON, OV and Parent with no better result.
