How to hide the values of subcategories

[SmithO]

Hello Everyone,

We have a field called 'category' on the incident form, and based on the selected category, the subcategory field values are displayed. We have options A, B, C, and D for the category field, and options 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 for the subcategory field. However, we want to hide the subcategory option '4' when 'B' is selected in the category field. How can we achieve this?

Note: We only want to hide this option on the form.

If it is to remove an option, you can go for onChange client script 

var category = g_form.getValue('category');
if (category == "B") {
g_form.removeOption('sub_category', '4');
}

Hi @SmithO 

Create a new Client Script ,

- Name: Adjust Subcategory Options
- Table: Incident
- Type: onChange
- Field: Category

 var categoryValue = g_form.getValue('category');
    
    if (categoryValue == 'B') {
        // If category is ‘B’, hide subcategory option ‘4’
        g_form.removeFieldOption('subcategory', '4');

Hi @SmithO 

try the below code.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {

if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
return;
}

if(newValue == 'B') {
g_form.clearValue('sub_category','');
g_form.addOption('sub_category', '1', '1' );
g_form.addOption('sub_category', '2', '2' );
g_form.addOption('sub_category', '3', '3' );
g_form.addOption('sub_category', '5', '5' );

}else{
g_form.addOption('sub_category', '1', '1' );
g_form.addOption('sub_category', '2', '2' );
g_form.addOption('sub_category', '3', '3' );
g_form.addOption('sub_category', '4', '4' );
g_form.addOption('sub_category', '5', '5' );

}

Hi @SmithO ,

You can apply the onChange client script to achieve this. code is given below:

}var cat = g_form.getValue('category');
    
    if (cat == 'B') {// cat ==backend value of category
        // If category is selectes as ‘B’ then hide subcategory option ‘4’
        g_form.removeOption('subcategory', '4');
}

Please accept my solution if it works for you and thumps up

Thanks
