I have 2 variables on Catalog item
Category
Sub-Category
Category:
Type = "Select Box" , choice table = "cmdb_ci_appl", choice field = "Category"
Sub-Category:
Type = "Select Box" , choice table = "cmdb_ci_appl", choice field = "SubCategory"
In table cmdb_ci_appl, SubCategory is dependant on Category.
Similarly, in Catalog item, how to make SubCategory variable dependant on Category variable?
Solved! Go to Solution.

For this solution, you can change your variables to be Lookup Select Box types instead of Select Box. This way we can set the attributes on those variables to look up from the cmdb_ci_appl table. For this example, the names of the variables are category and subcategory respectfully. Here are the changes you need to make to your variables:
Category [category]
Type: Lookup Select Box
Lookup from table: Application [cmdb_ci_appl]
Lookup value field: Category
Lookup label field(s):
Include none: true
Unique values only: true
Reference qualifier:
Subcategory [subcategory]
Type: Lookup Select Box
Lookup from table: Application [cmdb_ci_appl]
Lookup value field: Category
Lookup label field(s):
Include none: true
Reference qualifier: javascript: 'category=' + current.variables.category;
Variable attributes: ref_qual_elements=category
