Conditional filtering

Hey people.

Is there a way of having the dropdown filters react to other selections?

For example, if I select a “Team”, and then open the “Projects” dropdown, I only want to see the projects associated with that team, not all of the projects.

This is something that can be programmed into fillout forms, so wondering if anyone has managed it on Softr.

Thanks!

This feature has been requested many many times :slight_smile: it’s on Roadmap - Softr ! You can do it with global data restrictions see here

The global data restrictions do not do that, as I think someone else on that thread also said. I have global restrictions, which means a user only sees the teams I want them to see, but I want the individual dropdown filters to respond to each other.

List block - it lists all the tasks going on in the organisation.

Filter by team - only shows teams in the organisation which is great. Let’s say I select “Team A”

Filter by the project - still shows all the projects in the organisation, however, I want it to only show Team A because that has been selected.

I personally still use Fillout forms for that. I make in SOFTR an action button on a list detail that opens external URL. Point it towards a dynamicly made URL in Airtable and in Fillout you can do advanced filtering like you want.

That still wouldn’t achieve what I’m after - I just want the list block to display the items that are filtered by both the team and then the project.

My apologies,

I now get what you are after. Disregard my previous post :slight_smile: I do not know how to make that happen as the list block does not update anything without an action button. A workaround I can envision (but havent tested this) is to make a quick selection tool (modal popup or something) that chooses your filters and then redirects you to List filtering with URL (multiple params) .

Not the pretiest solution. I hope another member of the community knows more with maybe some JS
