Ok than you might note the following points:
The master/slave setup works only with plistbox not pcombobox
In the test setup for which it was developed the list of properties to choose from in the first field shouldn't be a list of all properties in the wiki but only a selected list which was defined in a type 'string' property 'Available properties' which contained a 'allowed values' property which specified the list of property names to be included.
As you can include (some) SQFT parameters (like filter) in the values= SF field definition this selection was implemented with the 'allows' filter (which filters for the values of the 'allowed values' property of the named property):
{{{field | propname | input type=plistbox | values=_properties,filter:allows:::Available properties | slave=PropertyValue1}}}
Note also the width parameter in the slave field
{{{field|PropertyValue1|width=40,30|input type=plistbox|values=}}}
It turned out that too long property values completely mess up the form. The width parameter defines therefore how much of a string is displayed (plus '...'):
either width=#characters ('abcdefgh' -> 'abcd ...')
or width=#characters,#characters-from-front ('abcdefgh' -> 'ab ... gh')
In general width specifies characters for plistbox and pixels for pcombobox
Cheers,
Gu
