make variable dependent on another variable

[DreDay3000]

I have variables on a record producer that need to be dependent on the previous variable. I have tried using the auto-populate but it doesn't seem to work. Is there another way to achieve this?

What do you mean by dependent? That to say you want to make a variable let say mandatory based on the previous. However, you are talking about auto-populate so are you trying to populate what is in the variable based on the previous one?

Hi @DreDay3000 

Create a catalog client script. 

//onchange client script 

if (newValue == ‘option_1_value’) {
    // Set the options for Variable B when Option 1 is selected in Variable A
    g_form.clearOptions(‘variable_b’);
    g_form.addOption(‘variable_b’, ‘1’, ‘Option B1’);
    g_form.addOption(‘variable_b’, ‘2’, ‘Option B2’);
  } else if (newValue == ‘option_2_value’) {
    // Set different options for Variable B when Option 2 is selected in Variable A
    g_form.clearOptions(‘variable_b’);
    g_form.addOption(‘variable_b’, ‘3’, ‘Option B3’);
    g_form.addOption(‘variable_b’, ‘4’, ‘Option B4’);
  }
  // Continue for other options as necessary
}

Note: use g_form.setValue('field_name' , 'value'); to set the variable 2 value based on variable 1 

Please mark it helpful and accepted if this helps you in somehow. This will help both community and me.
