Dataverse and cascading

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Rachel20J 3

Coming from SharePoint list to support cascading data into a form and let the drop downs drive the choices.

 

Now coming into Dataverse

We have 5 drop downs means we need to create 5 tables? 

 

What is the best approach to handle this type of cascading?

Thank you for any suggestions

    Hi @Rachel20J 

     

    I understand that when you talk about dropdowns you are talking about choice or option set.

     

    For an in-depth analysis, if your choices contain many elements, you may have to use a table, but if they are few and do not change, you can use choices. If you use tables, you must relate it to your table where you are storing the information so that you can create a relational model.

     

    There is no yes/no answer, it depends more on the data and data exploitation model you need to have.
