Just dropped: dependent picklist inline editing in the Grids for Salesforce. Filtered options per row, automatic cascade, and multi-level chains, with no dependency mapping required.

‍

Filtered Options Per Row

A dependent picklist shows only the values valid for that row's controlling field. Each row resolves independently: for example, with a Sub Industry field dependent on Industry, a Banking account and a Technology account offer different options in the same column.

‍

Automatic Cascade

Changing a controlling field clears dependents whose value is no longer valid, in the same save. Values that remain valid under the new controlling value are left alone.

‍

Multi-Level Chains

Supports dependencies several levels deep, for example Region to Zone to District, clearing down the chain as needed.

‍

No Dependency Mapping Required

Valid combinations are read from your org's field definitions at runtime, including fields added after install. Independent picklists and existing grids behave exactly as before.
