How to Show/Hide Options using g_form in client script.

[Prabhu20]

Hi,

Actually I need to show/hide options on one field based on another field.
I can achieve this using g_form.clearOptions() , addOption() & removeOption(). But, its actually removing or adding  options.

Is there any other way available to show or hide options other than the above specified. ?

Hi,

Unlike other fields such as reference where you can apply filter and hide value

Nothing is present for Choice

Only way is to show/hide using addOption() and removeOption()

Hi Ankur,

Thanks for the reply.

What issue I am actually facing is, I am using spanish translations for options and if the client script (add/remove options) gets executed, then it translated texts will be removed.

Whether can I make use of getMessage() inside addOption() to preserve the translations part ?

Hi Prabhu,

you should create entry into UI messages table for those drop down values and adding option should be possible using getMessage()

Hi Ankur,

I have modified my client script like the above shared links.

if(selectedValue == 'Demo'){

        getMessage('Option1', function(msg){
        g_form.addOption('relationship_with_employee','Option1',msg);
        });

        getMessage('Option2', function(msg1){
        g_form.addOption('relationship_with_employee','Option2',msg1);
        });

        getMessage('Option3', function(msg2){
        g_form.addOption('relationship_with_employee','Option3',msg2);
        });

}

And I have created records in the Messages table also.

Here, What issue I am facing is I am getting translated value of only Option1. Option2 and Option3 remains untranslated.

Whether you got any suggestions ?
