There are other differences between DP versions. Not just the addition of daisy chaining.
DP 1.1a = maximum bandwidth 10.8 Gbit/s DP 1.2 = maximum bandwidth 17.28 Gbit/s
You cannot use the P2418D as the Primary in a daisy chain due to lack of a DP out port. You could use the P2418D as Secondary slaved to a monitor that has DP out port. Like the U2518D.
PC DP out port --> U2518D DP to mDP cable --> U2518D mDP in port (Menu- Display- MST On) U2518D DP out port --> P2418D DP to DP cable --> P2418D DP in port
