reference qualifier used in a variable set

[Jeff316]

I have a variable set with 4 variables. 1 of the 4 variables needs a reference qualifier to be based on a regular variable on this same request record. javascript:'u_os='+current.variables.operating_system_version.u_tag      This lookup variable returns all values from the lookup table and ignores the ref qualifier. Can a variable in a variable set reference variables on the parent form?

Hi @user_316,

Yup, you can have dependent reference qualifier defined for the variables that are part of MRVS. However, I think there is a known issue where the reference qualifier is not honored once the item is submitted (For MRVS). I would recommend to test this out in your instance.

Ok. I don't think this below will work based on what you said.

1. Move all my variables on the form to a variable set called A.

2. Now on my catalog item I have 1 variable set A and 1 multi-row variable set B

3. I will reference a variable in A from a variable in B to render by menu options.

4. This lookup may only occur on the catalog intake form before its submitted and not again from the target forms.

Can't a catalog client script on change of OS place a value of "window" or "linux" into memory or scratchpad that can be retrieved from the pop-up window of the multi-row variable set that needs to look up the drive where os = the value from memory/scratchpad?
