I’ve read the documentation here: [https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/Syncing+cascading+select+custom+fields](https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/Syncing+cascading+select+custom+fields), but it doesn’t seem to work for me. I have a Select List (cascading) field “Application Module” that I just want to sync the parent and child values from one project to the other (basically at creation of the synchronized story).

Javier Auza Nevermind! I found my own error on line 36. The Sync is working as expected now.

Javier Auza I don’t get an error, the values in the list do no come over in the sync.

Here is the script I have:

Hi Destri,

Could you share the error you are getting when trying to sync the Cascading field?

Best regards,
