<p>Hi Nyall,</p>
<p>Interesting campaign and definitely some needed feature that will help further improve forms in QGIS.</p>
<p>However, I wonder why you chose the "value relation widget" and not the "relation reference widget". Both widget types have a larger overlap in functionality and I did hope that we could get rid of one of the two widgets in the future. Because from a user perspective it is confusing that different widget types exist that do similar things.</p>
<p>I had the impression that the team around Denis/Matthias is pushing the "relation reference widget" and had the plan to implement in the relation reference widget everything the "value relation widget" does.</p>
<p>Matthias - please correct me if I am wrong.</p>
<p>Nyall/Matthias/Denis: What are your thoughts on the redundant functionality in both widgets? Could we merge the two into one widget?</p>
<p>Greetings,<br />Andreas</p>

<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace">Hi all,<br /> <br /> North Road are proud to launch our latest QGIS crowd-funding campaign:<br /> Drill-down (cascading) forms! This campaign covers extending the<br /> functionality present in QGIS "Value Relation Widgets", allowing the<br /> implementation of complex, dynamic filters within QGIS attribute<br /> forms. The functionality can be used to implement "drill-down" forms<br /> within QGIS, where the values available in one field depend on the<br /> values of other fields.<br /> <br /> Full details are available at the campaign page:<br /> <a href="https://north-road.com/drill-down-cascading-forms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://north-road.com/drill-down-cascading-forms/</a><br /> <br /> We need your help to make this feature a reality! We need backers, but<br /> just as importantly, we need people to spread the word about this<br /> campaign so that all interested users and organisations hear about it.<br /> Here are some ideas:<br /> <br /> - spread the campaign page via your social media accounts: Twitter,<br /> Linked in, etc<br /> - forward a link to the campaign to any relevant professional networks<br /> you're part of<br /> - publicise the campaign via your local QGIS user group<br /> - have a chat to your manager... if this feature will make your work<br /> easier, and you've saved money by implementing QGIS within your<br /> organisation, consider contributing and let us make your job easier!<br /> <br /> Stay tuned for more updates and posts exploring this feature as the<br /> campaign progresses...<br /> <br /> Nyall<br /> _______________________________________________<br /> QGIS-Developer mailing list<br /> <a href="mailto:QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org">QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org</a><br /> List info: <a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer</a><br /> Unsubscribe: <a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer</a></div>
