"Dependency" is defined using "ConfiForms Field Definition Rule" with action to filter choices

Image Added

Rule is set to be connected to changes on "category" field (not shown on the screenshot, but it is the first parameter in the rules macro)

And important bit is the filter:

Code Block
contractorcategoriesid:[entry.category.id]

Why "contractorcategoriesid" and not "contractor_categories_id" as in the SQL defined? Because the way the field name is defined, allowing no non-alphanumeric characters in it's name. SQL query results become the dataset similar to internal datasets stored within ConfiForms.
