Example: Using a Cascading Validation List

This example illustrates how to trigger values from additional fields or a combo box (cascading validation list) by creating a service that uses a value based on the OwnerTeam field.

Before configuring this option, ensure that you have a standard user team called Desktop Support that it is populated with active employee names.
