    Hi,

    Thanks for the test case!

    You have:

    editor.dependent('user.country', 'scripts/php/dependentTest.php');
    

    But the script is returning:

    {
        "options": {
            "user.country": [
                {
                    "value": "1",
                    "label": "Morocco"
                },
                {
                    "value": "3",
                    "label": "Algeria"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
    

    So it is updating the options of user.country based on the selection of user.country. That triggers a change event each time, thus the infinite loop.

    I doubt you want to change the list of countries based on the selection of the country!

    You probably want to use dependent() on the continent field, and have that update the list of countries.

    Thank you Allan for your response yes exactly but i don’t know why in my head was thinking country is depending on continent so i put country :sweat_smile: but in the php script i already was filtering on the continent.
