Cascading Dropdowns in submission

[Abhishek Madas]

Hi 

we are using dspace 1.8.2 and I am trying to modify our submission flow to include inter-dependent dropdown fields (cascading)

such as if I Select Fruits: I see the next dropdown option display : Apples, Oranges,avocados and if I select Vegetables I see: Spinach, Kale, Cabbage

How can I achieve such a behavior.

Thanks.,

Abhishek

Hello Abhishek,

Unfortunately, DSpace doesn't support cascading dropdowns out-of-the-box.  You'd likely need to look for a third-party library (perhaps a Javascript library) to help you achieve this sort of customization.

Hopefully, if others have done this locally they will respond to this thread.

I haven't done it, but Googling for "jquery ui cascading dropdown" turns up a lot of hits, and DSpace already incorporates jQuery and jQuery UI.
