How to make Sub Category mandatory

[Alon Grod]

Hi,

I have the fields Category and Sub Category on the incident table. Sub Category values are dependent on Category. For some values on category there are sub categories and some of the values of categories don't have values in sub category. How can I make Sub Category field mandatory only if he has values according to the Category that was chosen ?

Hi @Alon Grod,

you can make a Ui policy using condition builder to state, that if some specific is chosen in the category, then subcategory should be mandatory.

@AndersBGS is there any way to make it work in general without mention specific categories?

Hi @Alon Grod ,

Here the script you can give a try with onchange client script

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if ((isLoading && newValue === '') || newValue === '') {
        g_form.setMandatory('subcategory', false);
        return;
    } else {
        var subcat = g_form.getControl('subcategory');
        var options = subcat.options.length;
        alert(options);
        if (options > 0) {
            g_form.setMandatory('subcategory', true);
        } else {
            g_form.setMandatory('subcategory', false);
        }
    }
}
