Hello,

we have the requirement to create one field that contains choices from another field. 

Example: -

Suppose there are two field 'A' and field 'B'. Field A is multiselect field where we can select multiple options. Whatever selected in field A those will be the choice for B. For B we have to select any one of option from those options of 'A'. When multiselect field 'A' contain only one selection then field 'B' contain that as default value. we have to make ' B ' field mandatory when 'A' field contains more than one selection.

please guide me to implement this functionality.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You need use advanced Reference qualifier on Field B like below:

 javascript: "sys_idIN"+current.u_field_a

 

It will restrict list to options selected in 1st Field.

To achieve 2nd scenario, you need to create onChange Client script running on change of 1st field.

 

Use logic in your client script like below:

 

var first = g_form.getValue('u_field_a');
var arr = first.split(",");
if(arr.length<1){
g_form.setValue("u_field_b",newValue);
}

Hi Pratiksha,

 

I suggest the following:

1) Create variable A as 'list collector' & refer to the table to get the options.

2) Create variable B as 'Select box'.

 

You need to client script to get the values dynamically to variable B, below is the approach :

  • Write a onChange client script on variable A & get all the display values selected for variable A. You may need to call the script include to get the display values of selected values in list collector. 
  • Once you get the values of variable A, write 'addOption' to variable B in the same client script.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
