Hi @Nisha30 ,

If you have a large number of values, it would be better to store them in a table and use a Reference Qualifier to make BoxB dependent on the value selected in BoxA.

If the values are maintained directly as Select Box options, I don't think there is an out-of-box way to make BoxB dynamically dependent on BoxA without using a Client Script.

Hi @HarishKumar6668 

Initially i was thinking to make use of decision table however seems it can be only used when in Flow Designer.

We are trying to Avoid custom table as well.

Thanks

Hi @Nisha30 ,

Decision Tables can also be used within scripts. You can copy the script generated by the Decision Table and use it into your GlideAjax Script Include .

Hello @Nisha30 ,


Option 1 :

 

If Box A and Box B are both Choice type fields, you can link them directly through their dictionary configurations.

 

  1. Right-click Box B and select Configure Dictionary.
  2. Find the Dependent Field tab (or section).
  3. Check the Use dependent field checkbox.
  4. Select Box A as the dependent field.
  5. Save the record.
  6. Scroll down to the Choices related list.
  7. For each choice in Box B, double-click the Dependent value column and enter the exact Value (not Label) of the corresponding Box A choice.

 

Option 2 :

 

If Box A and Box B are Reference fields pointing to other tables, you should use an Advanced Reference Qualifier.

 

  1. Right-click Box B and select Configure Dictionary.
  2. Set the Use reference qualifier dropdown to Advanced.
  3. In the Reference qual field, enter a reference filter that references Box A's current value:
    javascript:'u_box_a_reference_field=' + current.variables.box_a_variable_name;

 

Option 3 :
Otherwise, Client script is the last option.
