Distinct values from reference table & second reference based on first selection

Hello everyone,

in my App, I am using three tables.

Table nameKey
Casescase_id
Rentalsrental_id
Vehiclesvehicle_id

 

Table structure with columns

Cases

Column namecase_idrental_idvehicle_id
Description Reference to RentalsReference to Rentals

Rentals

Column namerental_idvehicle_id
Description Reference to Rentals
Can be multiple vehicles for each rental_id

Vehicles

Column namevehicle_id
Description 

Note: 
Each rental_id can have multiple lines with different vehicle_id and each vehicle_id can be used in multiple rental_id. 

Questions

  1. In the "Cases" form, I want to see a distinct list of "rental_id", even if there is the same "rental_id" in multiple lines. (column = rental_id)
    When I use type=Ref but create a Valid_id, I get distinct "rental_id", but there is a warning sign after every individual "rental_id".
    How can I do that?
  2. In the "Cases" form, I want to see a list of  "vehicle_id", which are available for the "rental_id" chosen before (in question 1). (column = vehicle_id
    How can I do that?

I want to keep the columns type Ref if possible.

Thanks for your help in advance!

I'm confused by which of these columns are Virtual list columns and which are Ref columns.  As you mention a many to many relationship.  If they are Ref's are they ENUM Refs?

@1minManager Thanks for your reply.

None of these columns are virtual lists. The columns are rental_id and vehicle_id are "Ref" in table "Cases" so they appear as a dropdown, when I create a new row in "Cases" table.

I hope that answers the question.
