AI Table’s single- and multi-select fields can sync options from another table — reference single / multi-select options from the current table or any other table inside the same AI Table. The basic case: don’t reconfigure the same options twice. The advanced case: build cascading dependencies between multiple single / multi-select fields.

Reusing options

When configuring a single / multi-select field:
  1. Check Sync options from another table.
  2. Pick the source table.
  3. Pick the source single / multi-select field.
  4. Add filter

Cascading dependencies

It’s common to capture multi-level data in AI Table — for an address, you usually pick country → province → city → district one level at a time. Pick a province first and the city dropdown only shows that province’s cities. Here’s an employee picking an office location to walk through how cascading works. A multinational has offices in Asia, North America, and Europe. Employees pick a region first, then an office. The office dropdown is restricted to offices in the chosen region. It takes two steps to wire up:

Set up the source table

Create a new table — say Office directory — with two single-select fields: Region and Office. List every office and its region: Note: list every Office and its Region.

Wire up the dependent fields

Create another table — say Employee work location — with two single-select fields: My region and My office. Configure My region:
  1. Check Sync options from another table.
  2. Source table: Office directory.
  3. Source field: Region.
Configure My office:
  1. Check Sync options from another table.
  2. Source table: Office directory.
  3. Source field: Office.
  4. Add a filter — source field: Region.
  5. Current-table field: My region. The condition reads: Office directory’s Region equals Employee work location’s My region.
Once configured, the two single-select fields cascade in Employee work location. For example, when Alex picks Europe as My region, My office is restricted to London.
