A way to only see lowest level in dependent dropdowns?

When using dependent dropdowns, is there a way to make the module only show the lowest levels? Currenly the lowest levels are the only selectable options, but it still shows you the hiararchy above that - just greyed out - which can look a bit untidy when trying to make a simple dashboard for an end user.

Thanks.

This can be done using a "flat" list of just the children

Taking this simple example:

Create a flat list of employees with 2 properties; one formatted as Territory and one as the list itself (in this case I've called the list Employees flat)

Format the "dependant" line as the flat list

You then get the desired effect

You can then match the "flat" list into the hierarchical list using FINDITEM, or by creating a line item in a Employees Flat module formatted to Employee

Hope that helps

Formula to return Connection details...
I couldn't find any formula to do this, but I want a way to put on the page/grid the connection details. This is so I know what connection I'm in rather than going into Connections details to see it. Is there an XL3 formula to return this value?
