Change Limit Category value for Idea

[Leonel Sandroni]

I am trying to modify the limit of categories you can choose for an idea. By default you can choose 5 categories maximum, but I need to limit it only for one category. I have modified the dictionary entry "Category limit", but it doesn't  work, I can still choose 5 categories maximum.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Hi @Leonel Sandroni,

First, you're showing the dictionary record for 'category_limit' on the 'im_module' table.  That has no effect on the number of Choice values shown for a Reference Field.  that is implied by your statement:

"I am trying to modify the limit of categories you can choose for an idea. By default you can choose 5 categories maximum, but I need to limit it only for one category. I have modified the dictionary entry "Category limit", but it doesn't  work, I can still choose 5 categories maximum."

In my instance, the idea table does not have a "Category" Reference field to some table.  To limit what is shown, if you have a Reference field on 'idea' that points to another table, you can use a Before Query Business Rule for that table.  Seems more information is needed here to assist.

Hi Leonel,

you have to update the value of the field iitself with 1.
