Cascading of Lookup Dropdown Fields on SharePoint 2013 and Office 365

Welcome to an article on the ‘Cascading of Dropdown fields on SharePoint 2013 & Office 365’. This is a major approach when we build forms and when we have to use multiple look up fields on the form and they should be related to each other as a parent and child relationship.

So what happens is, when you select a parent, other child items are related to it. So if you select a particular parent, all the child items related to the parent will appear.

Let’s see it.

• Create a list named “Company”.Click on Add an app,

• Choose the Custom List App

• Click on it and create a ‘Company’ List.

• Once the list is created, add in the names of the companies.

• As per the screenshot below.

• Create another list named as “Employee”

• Once the list is created, Create a look up column named as Company from our Company List.

• As you can see below, Clock on Create Column and the choose Lookup.

• Select the list as Company and choose the Title field while configuring the lookup column.
