Hi Andrey,

Take a look at the following documentation:

[https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/Syncing+cascading+select+custom+fields](https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/Syncing+cascading+select+custom+fields)

[https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/getCascadingSelect](https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/getCascadingSelect)

```auto
def parent = nodeHelper.getOption(issue, "Destination Region/Country", "Europe")
issue.customFields."Destination Region/Country".value = nodeHelper.getCascadingSelect(
       parent,
       parent.childOptions.find{it.value == "Belgium"}
)

```

```auto
issue.customFields."Destination Region/Country".value = nodeHelper.getCascadingSelect(
       nodeHelper.getOption(issue, "Destination Region/Country", "Europe"),
       nodeHelper.getOption(issue, "Destination Region/Country", "Belgium")
 )

```

These approaches should both work correctly.

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks,

André
