Hi @keval3 

Not clear on your issue but look like

you want to show the sub cat based on selection of Cat.

You can use the catalog UI policy and show based on same or if you can share the screenshot that will be good.

Hello @keval3 , 

You can try something like the below onChange client script.

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
        return;
    }

    // Clear existing options in Subcategory
    g_form.clearOptions('subcategory'); // Replace 'subcategory' with your field name

    // Add a default "Select Subcategory" option
    g_form.addOption('subcategory', '', '--Select Subcategory--');

    // Define the mapping between Categories and Subcategories
    var subcategoryOptions = {
        'Hardware': ['Laptops', 'Desktops', 'Printers'],
        'Software': ['Operating System', 'Productivity Tools', 'Security Software'],
        'Networking': ['Switches', 'Routers', 'Firewalls']
    };

    // Get the subcategories for the selected category
    var subcategories = subcategoryOptions[newValue] || [];

    // Add the subcategories as options
    subcategories.forEach(function(subcategory) {
        g_form.addOption('subcategory', subcategory, subcategory);
    });
}

Adjust the code as per your requirement.

@keval3 

why not make them dependent so that subcategories are shown based on category selected?

This is similar to how incident form works

check these links for the solution or workaround
