Hello, I am very interested in the functionality of this module. However, as of yet, I am just completely unable to get it to work. I have several dependent node types: Organization > Project > User Story > Task. When I create a task, I want Organization to set the options for Project, which in turn sets the option for User Story. The task node has a node reference field for User Stories and the Dependent Fields settings are:

Controller Field: Node reference: field_project_ref (Project)
Hide if empty: unchecked
Hide None Option: unchecked
Filter Field: Filter by Controller Field
Force Controller Field: unchecked.

No advanced views options.

What am I doing wrong?

Does the task content type have node references to Organization, Project and User Story? If you are entering a task would you have to first choose Organization which would then filter Project and then by choosing project would then filter User Story. This kind of functionality can be found with Hierarchical Select Node Reference

If that is what you are trying to do I suggest you make it easier on your users by simply using Node Reference Url Widget which will allow you to put a link on the User Story node page (for example) that could say "Add a Task". The user would click this and all of the required info would be included. That is to say that the new task would have a link to the User Story which already has a link to the Project which already has a link to the Organization. You could use Node Reference Url for all of these relationships.
