Jayanth Dependent picklist value not getting populated
Hi
I am having a peculiar problem. I've created a dependent picklist and am trying to display them both on a visual force page. The controlling picklist displays with its values on the VF page. However, the dependent picklist(multi picklist) although displayed on the page has no values in it.
I've checked the field level security and it seems to be correct.
Also when I remove the dependency between the picklists, the 2 separately display all it values(narrowing my thought to the dependency to be the cause of the problem)
both the picklists are on a custom object with no record type.
The visual force page is attached to a custom controller
Is there any reason for this to occur?
am I missing anything while trying to display a picklist on a VF page with a custom controller?
VF code:
<apex:inputField id="region" value="{!tempCon.Region__c}"/>
<apex:inputField id="subregion" value="{!tempCon.SubRegion__c}"/>
The controller just initialises the variable in the constructor
Temp_con__c tempCon = new Temp_con__c();
Recordtype is not required. Sorry I didn't notice you mentioned that in your original post.
It looks like you are doing everything right.
As long as the API >19.0 then it's gotta be a small issue that is being overlooked.
May fire up a test page and controller and see if you can reproduce it with just the one object and two fields
Temp_con__c tempCon = new Temp_con__c();
<apex:inputField value="{!tempCon.Region__c}"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!tempCon.SubRegion__c}"/>

Hi,
It may be cause of that dependent picklist has no value selected for each controlling picklist value. So you will have to select the value for dependent picklist corresponding to each controlling field value.
Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
Actually the dependent picklist values are selected and included.
Also I have ensured that the API version of the VF page is above 19.0
Yet,the response has been the same
Sounds like you have multiple recordtypes for this object.
Ensure when you instantiate the object set the recordtypeid and the recordtype should be considered.
thanks mike, But this custom object has no record types.
could this be an issue?

Oh my bad....there happened to be a composition tag on the page and the API version of the particular template page was below 19
