Dependent dropdown list with Time Period

It would be great if I could create dependent dropdown lists with Time Period type. E.g. I have 2 line items with FY and HY types. And when I've selected FY18 in the first one, the second dropdown allows to select only H1 FY8 and H2 FY18, excluding items from other years

Hi,

It would be great if we could set a dependent option for Time Period formatted line items as with list formatted. For example:

LI1 has a time period of Year (2020)

LI2 has a time period of Weeks/Month (if possible date as well) and could be dependent on the year Selected in LI1

In models with larger time calendars, this could greatly benefit the user experience when only a certain period time values would be expected in the dropdown.

At the moment you could only achieve this by using dummy time lists but would be nice for the native time dimension as well.

This feature would drastically improve end user experience. Can we please get this back into consideration?

Any update on this?

I think this is something almost every single Anaplan model can use!

Hello, I would see the benefit having this feature for the native time.

At times from NUX and end-user perspective, the drop down selections with native time are not ideal when multiple periods are in use in model settings.

Any update on this topic? We have a similar request from our key user. This will help to improve adoption. Thanks.

We had a need for this, so I came across this post. seems like an easy fix that is a need! As a work around I created a Months list to select from then used the concat of the Month selection and a Year Time period selector to drive a filter for the grid. It worked for the client, but it would be much cleaner with this capability.
