Reference Field Dependency on another reference field

Piyush Kumar

Hi,

I am trying to make a reference field dependent on another reference field (which is already dependent on a lookup select which is referring to my custom table).

Both the reference field is referring to the same custom table.

Below Field 2 is dependent on Field 1 (using ref qualifier)

In the same way, I want to make dependent Field 3 dependent on Field 2 Selection. Another issue is here the list layout setting since both the fields are referring to the same table

find_real_file.png

The Applications field is already dependent on the Select Location field. Below table screenshot

Thanks,

Piyush Kumar

Hi,

So can you please inform what you tried and what is not working

simple syntax for advanced ref qualifier on field 3 would be

I assume this is for service catalog

javascript: 'fieldName=' + current.variables.variable2;

If this is for table then do this

javascript: 'fieldName=' + current.variable2;

Hi Ankur, 

I was wondering if you could explain how to build reference fields like OOB assignment_group and assigned_to fields. Without having to mention javascript reference qualifiers?

 

Just by adding assinged_to as depenedent on assignment_group it works as expected.
