The filter is set up and the dropdown shows a set of rows, but they are all blank, no values.

So I think I have the filters set up correctly. However, dropdown 2 is not showing a list of values to choose from when I select the field.

It may be a little more complex than that - in the condition builder for the filter on drop down b, you'd select the abbreviation from B. Then is equal to and in the third dropdown, use a formula. In the formula, you'd pick the abbreviation from data source A and add a filter - in that filter, you'd select the region in data source A ...

I have two forms I have saved to a document library (as content types) on SharePoint. I am trying to create a workflow that updates comments in one field of one of the forms (manager form) to another field in the other form (employee form). Is this even possible? I ask because when I go to create the workflow in SPD I don't see values that ...

Does this look right for the filter? abbrev (a) is equal to abbrev b and Region (a) is equal to Region (form)

Does the data source for A contain the abbreviation? If so, this can be done, but the filter is a little more complex.

So - if the Filter field is actually equal to the my:PrioDerT_x00e4_tigkeitOptional field, the formula you posted should be ok. Here's a copy of your form where I added another copy of your table. It has the Filter field and the my:PrioDerT_x00e4_tigkeitOptional field on it, so you can see if those are the same.

I have two tables - one for region and the other for site. The common data point is TCS (which is an abbreviation for Region)  What I want to do is have dd B (site) give a limited number of choices based on dd A (region).  dd A selections are the full region name and not the abbreviation. How do I accomplish this? ...

Hilary, thanks for taking the time to respond. Looks like I need to switch back to a XML forms library rather than a list to overcome this.

Hilary, thanks for taking the time to respond. Looks like I may need to revert to a XML form library rather than a standard list. This will then overcome my other problem where the default option for a list is to view the item whereas in a XML form library it opens the form.
