SPServices is a jQuery library which abstracts SharePoint's Web Services and makes them easier to use. It also includes functions which use the various Web Service operations to provide more useful (and cool) capabilities. It works entirely client side and requires no server install.

Can SPCascadedDropdowns have two parents

Hi

Firstly, SPServices has been a real lifesaver when compared with having to write acres of plumbing code
in say SPFx +Office Fabric + ReactJS when building a parent /relationships UI IMHO .

Anyway back to my question. I want to use a lookup which works against the relationship list as shown below. I want select my colour indicator based on the values held in Department and Company . Can I use CAML to argument the first Parent column?

Title Department Company
Green Sales Comp1
N/A Sales Comp2
Amber Sales Comp3

The trick here would be to store your values in two tables to make them more like relational tables. Then you can call SPCascadeDropdowns twice, once per relationship.

Without understanding your full data set here, it might be something like:

Companies
Title
Comp1
Comp2
Comp3

Departments
Title Company Color
Comp1 Sales Comp1 Green
Comp2 Sales Comp2 N/A
Comp3 Sales Comp3 Amber

Thanks Marc. Since posting, the requirements have changed and I having to replicate the functionality with InfoPath ( for better or worse!) .
