@michael.walter, I moved this post out to a new thread.

I would encourage taking a look at my post in another thread, solving essentially the problem you're describing:

I’ve got a very simple example of this below; the project has an editable ‘Options’ dataset, and the available options in column B in the editable table will be dynamic based on the value in column A. The relevant code is here: root = self from javax.swing import JComboBox, DefaultCellEditor, DefaultComboBoxModel class CustomCellEditor(DefaultCellEditor):…

Note that, as @pturmel (correctly) likes to point out, you would _not_ want to do something blocking like `system.db.runPrepQuery` directly in a frontend call - those scripts block the event dispatch thread, meaning your client will hang up entirely if that query ever returns slowly.
