"SPCascadeDropdowns does not work with the "Quick Edit" view - aka the new Datasheet view - in SharePoint 2013 as of SPServices 2013.01."_

Marc - Great stuff!
Is there a way to have the cascade feature work even when a user is editing their list in "Quick Edit" mode (datasheet entry in SP 2013)?
After I select my first column (parent), ALL the choices are still available in the second (child) column; no filtering has occurred. I know I placed the code on the New and Edit form...
Can this be done?
Thanks, Jean"
This would be very hard to do, though I'm not sure it's impossible. Because of this, I've never tried to get it working. These days, relying on Microsoft not changing the DOM is a risky business.
I realize this is an older post, are there any new coding options available for getting the cascade to work in Quick Edit or Datasheet View in Sharepoint Online?
Thank you!
@techiechickie No, those views are complex in the UI. The Datasheet view - in particular - uses an ActiveX control, which doesn't give us an HTML surface to work with. Modern SharePoint pages don't allow arbitrary script (no CEWP anymore) as the architecture has completely changed.
Your best bet is to use PowerApps.
