Hi all,
We have requirement to make list field values to display based on the other list field values selected.
Eg: Category is a list field reference to categories(u_categories) table (where user can select multiple categories) based on the categories selected then the related sub categories(reference to u_sub_categories)table need to be displayed to select for the user.
please help me with the best possible way to achieve this.
Thank you,
Balaram.

Hi there,
Yes that's possible. You could look at Incident for example, and Category / Subcategory. On this dependent values are used.
If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.
Kind regards,

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your response. Those are choice fields and not multi selectable.
i have a requirement on list fields which are referenced to the custom category and sub category tables.
Thank you,
Balaram.

Hi Palani,
Thanks for your response, i used the same way but it works only the first value selected in the category field but not for multiple categories.
Thank you,
Balaram.
