    Custom DataType, Using a DataTypeSetting Dropdown value with another DataTypeSetting...

    Hi Umbraco-genies,

    Here's my problem/challenge:
    I've a custom DataType using a usercontrol. It has 1 DataTypeSetting which is a DropDown of DocumentTypes.

    Now, after I choose a DocumentType value from this dropdown list (and click save maybe), I want to populate another DataTypeSetting dropdown list of all the Properties associated with the selected DocumentType.

    *And then of course store both selected values to that DataType.

     

    Any ideas / direction / solutions?

    *Please note I can't edit or delete this post.

    What I meant was: DataEditorSetting and NOT DataTypeSetting!!

    I don't think it's really possible out of the box, but you could create your own DataEditorSetting with both controls on it (the Doctype & Property dropdowns).

    Also for a similar route and some inspiration see this thread, he created a custom DataEditorSetting that reads values from another DataEditorSetting:

    Hope this helps,
    Tom
