Hi @Manu143 

Let's try this API in your client script. You will be able to add choice value in a specific condition.

addOption(String fieldName, String choiceValue, String choiceLabel)

To make a string field act as dropdown list. You'll need to update the Choice List Specification in Dictionary.

Cheers,

Hi Tai Vu,

  I tried that as well but if I will  go with that approach the dropdown will be visible to other model category as well.That field will get change for everywhere and I just want that only for model category computer.

Thanks,

Manu

Hi,

You need to use addOption() along with removeOption() to get it worked as per your use case.

Hi @Manu143 

We can validate the Hardware Model Category before calling the API.

Sample below.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading) {
        return;
    }

    if (newValue === '') {
        g_form.removeOption('<field_name>', '<choice_value>');
        return;
    }

    if (g_form.getValue('model_category') === '81feb9c137101000deeabfc8bcbe5dc4') {
        g_form.addOption('<field_name>', '<choice_value>', '<choice_label>');
        return;
    }

    g_form.removeOption('<field_name>', '<choice_value>');

}

If you'd like the script runs on load, just remove the isLoading condition.

If you don't want to hard-coding the sys_id of the Computer category, you can store it in a system property then call an AJAX to do the validation.
