how to get dropdown of field 2 as per field 1

[jaypatel]

Field 1:

    Cars: BMW, AUDI, HONDA (Dropdown list)

    Carmodels: BMWx5,BMWx3,audiA5,audiA3,HoncaCity,...  (Dropdown list)

Lets say if I select BMW then in carmodel dropdown it should only show the BMWx5,BMWx3(Connected with each other)

Entity

   Cars: (Id, name)

   Carmodels: (id,model,name) where name is Cars name 

So in power apps do i have to add both entity? Because the form is on 3rd entity.

Yes, you need to add both the entities. The two dropdowns will each have their Items property set as follows:

Car Dropdown: Items Property = Cars

Car Model Dropdown: Items Property = Filter(CarModels, Name = CarDropdown.Selected.Name)

This should give you something like this: 

Let me know if this helps.

I used those names as examples. Replace Cars with your datasource or list name that has car brands in it.

Car Dropdown: Items Property = Cars (What is Car in it? DropDown is Datacardvalue? or its default keyword

Hi @jaypatel,

Could you share some screenshot with your issue?

Do you add these two dropdowns in data card of form?

I'm agree with PowerAddict's workaround. You just need to use Filter function to filter out the Carmodels based on selected Car name in cars dropdown.

If that doesn't work, could you share more details with your apps?

Best regards,

Cars is my collection/data source where I have the car records stored.

That expression is the Items property of the dropdown.

Let me know if you want to discuss this further via chat or screenshare.

So basically that was just an car example. I will share whole issue here.

Total data sources: 

       1.PerformanceCriteria (Title: (Ex: Operation Fundamentals) )

       2.Attributes (Title: Monitor closely & control Precisely connected to  Operation Fundamentals which is Performance Critea )

       3. ObservationReportv3 (FINAL FORM THAT TAKE INPUT it has field call PerformanceCriteria1 and  Attributes 1)

1 and 2 are connected with each other. 

Please see pictures that I attached.

Hi @jaypatel ,

Please try this:

Set the first dropdown1's Items property: PerformanceCriteria, Value property: Title

Set the second dropdown2's Items property: Filter(Attributes, PerformanceCritea.Value=Dropdown1.Selected.Title), Value property: Title

When you select a PerformanceCriteria item, the dropdown2 will list all Attributes Title that correspond to the selected PerformanceCriteria item.

Hope this help.
