Better option than a Reprompt

I have created MultiSelect Casading Prompts and to populate the Values, I have to click on Reprompt.  Is there a better way of do this.

For eg if I select 2 values from the first Multiselect Prompt  value, is it possible that without clicking on Reprompt button, the second cascading prompt gets populated with Data????

If you are usin multiselect I do not believe there is no way to know when you are done selecting values until you re-submit the form to fill in the other prompts values.

If it was just one value you were picking you could turn on auto-submit but with multiselect you need to re-sumit the form manually after your done picking as there is no way to know if the user will pick one or two plus value from the first list.

Maybe move the 2nd prompt to a new page so you click NEXT to get to the next prompt with the proper values?

If you don't like the "Reprompt" button text, drag a text item over the button and rename it.

didnt know if that was an issue or not......

Cheers,
