Reference field dependent on value of another field

[Celliven]

I know this is a 101 question, though I am having a mental blank.

I have added a reference field of configuration items [cmdb_ci] to a form and I want it to offer choices based on the value of another field   1st Rack [u_1st_rack], which is linked to Locations [cmn_location].

I want to specify a location in 1st Rack, then have Configuration Items only display CIs that are in the location specified.

I have set the dependency, but am not sure if it is the Attributes I need to set or a Dictionary override?

I can find lots of things that talk about dictionary overrides but not a lot that gives practical examples of setting attributes.

Thanks

I did like this

creatded a field location--reference to---cmn_loaction

Created a field config item-list type --to Configuration ITem// here made dependent to location

Then right click config item--dictionary'

Now i get Ci based on location selected

I have 2 CI based on location Sandiego.

Hi Harishkumar

That makes sense to me and what I did, though I am still getting all CIs not just those based on the location.

Scratching my head and still working on it.

Thanks

Share your screen shot let me have a look.

Note your configuration item shud be List type not reference type
