How to define Hierarchical order of custom fields

[guri12]

As per the customer requirement, i need to create 2 custom fields(Test1, test2) on groups form each referring to group table .

While selecting assignment group, under test1, test2 should be visible then under test 2, groups list should be visible in a hierarchical order.

HI Guri,

Are you looking to display test2 in "tree view"?   if so, take a look at the tree_picker attribute you can put on a hierarchical reference field (like assignment group).

tree_picker

true/false

reference field with reference to a hierarchical table

Displays the hierarchy of reference values in a tree display (such as locations).

Hi Tomasi,

Thanks for ur response, i just wanted to know how can i create a field similar to parent field in a custom table so that i can create hierarchical   order for custom data.

Suppose i have a field named as service which has service1 value. There are some other values servicechild1 , ervicechild2 and so on... i want to make service1 parent of other values.  

How should i create parent child relationship?

Thank you for the details. You can do that. Just make a reference field to the same table you are in.

I did this last week with a table I extended from Task. The default 'parent' table points to task, but that's not what I needed so I made another one called parent_action which is a reference field to my action table.

You can do this with any table. Make one record point to another record on the same table.
