Filtering choices in a checkbox lookup table

Users
1

I'm trying to create a set of filtered location lists (sector, cell,
village) but with multiple options selectable. This doesn't seem to work if
multiple answers are selected in the parent lists. I want to be able to
select two separate cells, and then proceed to select the appropriate
villages within each cell. However, the lookup table will not display any
choices if multiple answers are selected in the sector or cell lists. Is
there any way around this, aside from creating separate lookup tables?

Hey Eric,

I think you can modify your filtering logic for the second list.

So for example, you may have filtering logic that looks like:
state = /data/state (where state is a column in your district lookup table)

You would want to change that to be:
selected(/data/state, state)

(This essentially says that I want to show my district IF the district's
state is one of the states chosen).

Thanks,
Sheel
