You can achieve the Cascading DropDownList with Tree Grid Editing by using the Cell Edit Template feature.
In the below demo, Cascading DropDownList rendered for Priority and Duration column.
import { TreeGrid, Edit, Toolbar } from "@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid";
import { projectData } from './datasource.ts';
import { DropDownList } from "@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns";
import { DataManager, Query } from "@syncfusion/ej2-data";
let priorityData: { [key: string]: Object }[] = [
{ priorityName: "Normal", priorityId: "1" },
{ priorityName: "High", priorityId: "2" }
];
let durationData: { [key: string]: Object }[] = [
{ durationValue: 2, priorityId: "1", durationId: 2 },
{ durationValue: 3, priorityId: "1", durationId: 3 },
{ durationValue: 4, priorityId: "1", durationId: 4 },
{ durationValue: 11, priorityId: "2", durationId: 11 },
{ durationValue: 15, priorityId: "2", durationId: 15 },
{ durationValue: 20, priorityId: "2", durationId: 20 }
];
let priorityElem: HTMLElement;
let priorityObj: DropDownList;
let durationElem: HTMLElement;
let durationObj: DropDownList;
TreeGrid.Inject(Edit, Toolbar);
