Hello!
I think I need some help with my flashes (sb900 and sb910's) and CLS mode.
First, let me explain what I'd like:
Two offline flashes on stands Group B, channel 1
I want to trigger them with flash on camera, but still wan't to use that on-camera flash as TTL for fill light.
I want to trigger those two flashes on stands.
So, I go to CLS menu and set like this (nevermind the group A)

:

So, I put flashes on stand to remote position, the one on camera leave as it is.
But somehow, on-camera flash won't trigger those two on stands. What am I doing wrong?
If I change on-camera flash to master and than change settings on flash (for group B and channel 1 as in CLS camera menu), everything works. But I don't wan't to use it that way since it is too slow to set and change things.
I'd just like to be able to switch CLS on/off to change on-camera flash from "TTL bounce" to "TTL bounce and trigger B group".
Any idea, what am I doing wrong?

IMO it should work in "normal" (only turned on) if CLS is ON.
I've tried to look on YouTube, but there are only videos where they trigger with camera's built-in flash.
The wording is slightly confusing to me.
In that image, it says "E3 Flash cntrl for built-in flash"
Which is it? Actual built in flash in your camera, or a dedicated hot shoe flash on camera.
I would assume you put the Dedicated Flash ON Camera in 'Master' Mode, just makes sense to me and the others would be Slave?
I've never used that way of shooting in my life so I cannot tell you specifically, always had Off Camera Flashes firing via a trigger, InfraRed in the 'old' days, and wireless last 10+ years, even use an On Camera Flash as the Trigger is mounted on a plate to underside of body via the Flash Sync Cord, so I can have the best of both worlds.
Just can't figure it out why here is problem.
