Hi @raj765_32 ,

Hope you are doing great.

1. Open the catalog item for  which you want to make modification in variables.

2. Identify the list collector variable that references the access types table. (make a Note of variable's name or sys_id

3. Create a new client script for the catalog item from related list "catalog client script" from catalog item formadd the following code snippet:

   function onLoad() {
      var variableName = 'your_variable_name'; // Replace 'your_variable_name' with the actual variable name or sys_id
   
      // Get the reference to the variable
      var variable = g_form.getControl(variableName);
   
      // Check if the variable exists
      if (variable) {
         // Get the dropdown element within the variable
         var dropdown = variable.selectBox;
   
         // Iterate through each option in the dropdown
         for (var i = 0; i < dropdown.options.length; i++) {
            var option = dropdown.options[i];
            
            // Check if the option is the one you want to hide
            if (option.text === 'Vpn access') {
               // Hide the option
               dropdown.remove(i);
               break;
            }
         }
      }
   }

4. Save the client script.

Please make sure to replace 'your_variable_name' with the actual name or sys_id of the variable referencing the access types table in your catalog item.

its not working

function onLoad() {
var variableName = 'what_access_do_you_need';

var variable = g_form.getControl(variableName);

if (variable) {

var dropdown = variable.selectBox;

for (var i = 0; i < dropdown.options.length; i++) {
var option = dropdown.options[i];


if (option.text === 'VPN Access') {

dropdown.remove(i);

@raj765_32 

is that variable part of some variable set and that variable set is used in multiple catalog items?
