The SharePoint Cascading Lookup Plus Field type is a new lookup field type that brings added capabilities that implementers found lacking in out of the box SharePoint Lookup fields: Cascading fields ("master-details"); Cross-site lookups; Filtered lookups; Dual (two-way) lookup
With SharePoint Cascading Lookup Plus Field you can:
- Create cascading fields
- Easily filter field values by other fields in the same List. Example: Want to display "Region", "Country" and "City" fields, where each one filters the next field?
- Create a two-way connection between lists
By using this feature you finally can implement a true relational model in SharePoint (yes – just like in "normal" database applications!). - The SharePoint Cascading Lookup Plus field enables you to create "dual lookup" field. In other words, when you create a lookup from one list to another, a reverse lookup is automatically created. For example: when you create a lookup field in the “Orders” list that connects each order to a customer in the “Customers” list (see below), a reverse lookup will automatically be created in the customers list.
