[AGGIORNAMENTO: guarda l'implementazione di questa risposta qui ]
OK, ho capito come farlo, ma mi sono anche reso conto che ho un altro problema che probabilmente stava causando il problema e impedendo il mio Session.set() valori dall'impostazione corretta (creerò una domanda SO separata per quella).
Ho deciso di iniziare da zero e creare un'app giocattolo che avesse solo i due campi a discesa in modo da poter ottenere la funzionalità di dipendenza corretta.
Il mio ufficio blocca meteorpad , ma ho impostato il codice di seguito, quindi penso che potresti incollarlo e provarlo. Ho aggiunto un terzo campo e puoi vedere che una volta selezionato il primo campo (Dipartimento), aggiorna le opzioni disponibili nel 2° menu a tendina (Mfg.) e quando selezioni un valore Mfg., aggiorna il 3° (Vendor ).
