Creating Dependency Between Two Glide List Fields

[Chandan Sharma1]

Suppose I have two Glide List type fields: Category and Sub-category, each with three choices — A, B, and C. The requirement is:

• When the user selects A in the Category field, only A should be visible in the Sub-category field.
• Similarly, selecting B or C in Category should restrict Sub-category to show only the corresponding value (B or C respectively).

In other words, the Sub-category field should dynamically display only the value that matches the selected Category.

Any reason you have same choices in both the fields?

Doesn't look like a valid business requirement

Its just for demo purposes, and the real requirement involves different choices.

Assuming these are both just choice fields you can set field dependency on the Sub-Category field.

Setup your Category field first, then when configuring the Sub-Category field under the Dependent Field tab make sure 'Use Dependent Field' is checked and then select the Category field as the Dependent on Field. This will add a Dependent Value attribute to each choice you configure under the choices for Sub-Category. If you need a choice to appear for multiple categories then you must create a sub-category choice for each category you want it to appear with.

Keep in mind that the Dependent Value attribute for each sub-category choice needs to reference the value for the Category choice associated with it and not the label.

This method works only for Choice fields.Here we're using Glide List, then this method will not work.
