Hello,

 

I have to add extra choice options that is dependant on another field's value ( every company needs the same choices, while company X needs the available +  new choices ). It has to work on the mobile app too. 

The dependant field does not seem to work the way I want as if I set it up for company and add the sys ID, I only see the new choices for company X and none of the other companies have any choice options available in that case. Reference qualifier does not seem to do anything, I'm trying to avoid script inculde + client scripts ( not even sure if it would work well on mobile ).

Any tips would be appriciated

Hi @__he__ ,

 

Client scripts or UI policies usually don’t work on the mobile app, so dependent choices can break there.

A simple way to handle your case:

  1. Create a custom table for your choice options, and add a field for “Company.”

  2. Use a Reference field instead of a normal Choice field.

  3. Add a Reference Qualifier on that field to show:

    • All common choices for every company.

    • Extra choices for Company X.

Since the filtering happens on the server side, it works on both desktop and mobile apps.
