Dependent Choice Lists

[MStritt]

I have Field 2 dependent on Field 2.

Field 1:
A
B
C
D

Field 2:
Unknown
None
Empty
Populated

Can I have a choice on Field 2 show if any of the choices from Field 1 are selected? For example, I want Unknown to show if any of the choices are selected in Field 1. Or, I want Unknown to show if A, B or C is selected in Field 1.  Or, is it only 1 for 1? Meaning, only 1 choice from Field 2 can show on only 1 choice from Field 1?

Yes, it is possible. You can use Reference qualifiers for the same.

For instance, Field 1 is reference to company & Field 2 is reference to user table then 

javascript: 'company='+current.field1name;

Can be used as refernece qualifier on Field 2

If its on variable level then

javascript: 'company='+current.variables.variable1name;

In case of choice list as well it can be configured as a Dependant value at the dictionary level. Refer link for a check.

Yes you can go to FIeld dictionary and add dependent choices. Navigate to field dictionary and under dependent value tab checkmark use dependent field and Use Dependent Field as <field_name> and then map dependencies using dependent field. For reference you can see Category and subcategory dependency. That is basically many to many dependency. See screenshot for reference.

Hi Sharjeel,

Thanks for your response.

In your reference above, what if I want 'antivirus' to have a dependent value of 'inquiry', 'hardware', and 'database'?  This is what I'm wanting to do. I want a choice in Field 2 (sub category) to have multiple dependent values (category)?

[MrMuhammad · Accepted solution]

In that case you need to create 3 separate records for antivirus with each dependent value [inquiry, hardware and database]. See screenshot for reference. 

NOTE - Make sure to use value as dependent value not Label.

Thanks & Regards,
