Hi all! Got a one question about updating data when using dependsOn option in field and filterFields function in my model.

That's what I have in my fields.yaml:

type:
    label: "Type"
    span: auto
    type: relation
    emptyOption: " "
    required: true

print_format: 
    label: "Print format"
    span: auto
    dependsOn: type

And that's in my model:

public function filterFields($fields, $context = null)
{
    if ($this->type->slug == 'print') {
        $fields->print_format->hidden = false;
    } else {
        $fields->print_format->hidden = true;
    }
}

Everything works fine when I save my model item and refresh the page, but when I select different choices in Type dropdown field I see just a loading circle near field but it doesn't hide/show as I expect from this example from documentation.

Any suggestions?

Did you ever fix this?

There is a working example of this in the Test plugin when you manage Countries.

I’m trying to make the reverse of this work i.e. when a dropdown field option is chosen the relation data must change. This is useful because I had a dropdown with different types -- restaurant, gas station, etc. and each of them have different kinds of facilities. Help would be appreciated.
