Hi!
I am trying to populate Choice Box #2 depending on option form Choice Box #1.
I can’t seem to find a way to use filters to “tell” glide to only show those rows that match Choice Box #1 selection.
Is there anyway this can be achieved?
Thanks a lot!

Filter with the screen value, I think that would solve your issue

Thanks a lot @PabloMFalero , the solution is not working but I think it is because inside an “Add Items” screen so it might be returning blank for the value I need.
I might need to modify the flow in order for “screen value” to return what I need.
Thanks a lot for the tip on the screen value!

Do you know of any way to print screen values inside the “Add items” screen?
I would like to understand whats inside some of the values, but I can’t find a way to attach a screen value to an element inside the add items view.

In your choice component #2, is there not an option to filter by screen’s choice component 1 value?

Hi! thanks for reaching back.
I do see the the value when I set the filter
The thing is that the choice list is coming up blank, that’s why I was wondering if I could place in a text the values for “vendor ID” and “screen vendor ID”
Again, thanks for your help

If it’s the second choice component in the screen, shouldn’t the filter be vendor ID is not screen’s first choice component value. Is that value available at all to you?
I believe it works normally in a form, not sure how it functions in an add environment.

Thanks again for your time @ThinhDinh !
So, basically this is my DB structure.
I have an `orders` table and a `products in order` table linked by `order id`.
This is the “add items” screen for the `products in order table`.
On Choice #1 the user selects the order from the `order` table
On Choice #2 I want to only show products from the products table that match the vendor ID that comes from the `order(vendor ID)` table chosen on Choice #1
Unfortunately when I do this 
It returns empty, that is why it would be awesome to be able to debug the values in order to understand what is going on, but I can’t find any way to print those values anywhere on the screen.
Again, if you have any suggestion I will super appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.

Currently to do this easily, you can use a detail screen by building whatever you need there. I’m going to sleep now, but tomorrow, unless my dear friend @ThinhDinh has already intervened, I’ll send you a working example.

Hello @ThinhDinh !
Can you tell me if this same method for filtering a choice based on the selection in the first choice works with pages? I’ve been trying for days to get this to work in pages, but I was able to get it to work in an app the first time with no assistance.
works in app: [https://solitary-grain-6435.glideapp.io/](https://solitary-grain-6435.glideapp.io/)
racking my brain in pages: [https://dashing-earthquake-3610.glide.page/](https://dashing-earthquake-3610.glide.page/)
When I add the filter to the second choice field (description) the choice field disappears. I’ve tried the entire method in other ways besides the form. Nothing works.
Thanks for your help!

I haven’t touched Pages much. Can you record a video of the supposed bug in Pages? Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much for your quick reply!
Here’s the video of it not working in pages and also showing it working in the app.

Thanks for working on this, Santiago.
I refreshed and restarted my browser a few times, cleared cache, etc. tried in a private window, rebuilt the screen, form, and choice items again, but still experiencing the same issue.

Let me know if there’s something else I should try or if I’m building this incorrectly.
Thanks!
