    Drop Down in a repeating table

    Hi,
    I have a cascading repeating table that has a dropdown list. After I select a value from the dropdown list, it autopopulate values into the seconding repeating table. For example, I choose value Matt, and give populate his job title and his job duties into the second repeating table. Now in the second repeating table, I have three columns, one is for job title, job duties and last one is for what kind of access he has for his job dutie (Full, Create or Change)access. Question is, values will only populate job title and job duty and the third column has a drop down list to where I can choose the access. So if i gave me two job duties, i want to give each job duty a different access. The problem is, when I select a value from the drop down, it also changes the other drop down to the same value. I know it's because the table is bind together, is there a rule or code I can do to avoid this from happening.

    Because you have a repeating table, you will need to filter using the current() function. Take a look at the how-to articles on repeating cascading lists. These will give some idea how to use the current() function:
