control doesn't correctly manage dynamic lists #127

The scenario: There are 2 selection fields second uses different lists based on selection in first one. Mulitvalue control sums all possible values instead of build filtered list like dropdown does.

For example for the following definitions: field name="f1" refname="f1" type = "string" allowedvalues expanditems="true listitem="i1" listitem="i2" allowedvalues field

field name="f2" refname="f2" type = "string" WHEN field="f1" value"i1" suggestedvalues expanditems="true listitem="s1" istitem="s2" suggestedvalues WHEN WHEN field="f1" value"i2" suggestedvalues expanditems="true listitem="s3" istitem="s4" suggestedvalues WHEN field

multivalue always returns all items: s1 s2 s3 s4

regardless what items is selected for F1

The Multivalue control needs to properly support dynamic lists like the normal select list does. I've seen the same behavior where the conditions are ignore and the list just shows everything. It sure would be nice if the developers would fix it.
