Hello All,
My apologies if I am posting this in the wrong forum. I was unsure where to put Form/DB related questions...
I have found that a choice list allows you to add choices for a field where these choices are available to all entries in the table. But say I want to have different choice options available for each record in my table. Is it possible to customize a choice list for an individual table entry?
For example, say I want to track data on computer prices like so:
Table: Computer Prices
Computer Name (String) | Price (Choice List) |
---|---|
PC | $250 $500 $750 |
Mac | $1000 $1200 $1500 $1700 |
Suppose I want each entry to have its own prices in the choice list as I've demonstrated above. Is this possible? And if so, how is it set up?
I appreciate any feedback or examples of this.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Dictionary override is what you are looking for.

Hi Chris,
This can be certainly achieved through client scripts. The below link provides an example

Go to the field->right click->configure dictionary->Now check for the related list "dictionary override"
If you don't see then right click on the header->Configure->Related list->Pull Dictionary override to the right slushbucket and save
