Restriction of Choices list

[Gautam Raj]

Can we restrict a choice list to a specific entry alone? 

Am having a business application with cloud type as IaaS. I need to add an additional choice (CSP) under the choices tab in dictionary entry and restrict it to only one business application. Is that possible.

For example in the below BA could type should be marked as CSP and that choice should only be restricted to this BA. is that possible ?

@Gautam Raj 

then do this

1) use list_edit ACL and block the edit operation

2) Now for form level do this (client script on table cmdb_ci_business_app)

a) create onLoad client script and check if the name is Infra-Cloud-Azure BA or Infra - Cloud BA, if yes then set the choice value and make readonly

b) in same onLoad if value is not that then remove that option from choice

function onLoad() {
    var name = g_form.getValue('name');
    if (name == 'Infra-Cloud-Azure BA' || name == 'Infra - Cloud BA') {
        g_form.setValue('u_cloud_type', 'CSP')
        g_form.setReadOnly('u_cloud_type', true);
    } else {
        g_form.removeOption('u_cloud_type', 'CSP');
    }
}

Hi @Gautam Raj ,

Are you checking at list level? it will work on form level. You should not allow option changes from list.
