Hello ,

You can have a look at below docs that will help you.

Making A Field Dependent

OR

Make use of below script:

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

//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var field1 = g_form.getValue('name of field 1');
g_form.addInfoMessage(loggedInUser.u_user_category);
if(field1 =='choice 1'){
g_form.removeOption('field 2','values 1');
g_form.removeOption('field 2','values 2');

}else if(field1 =='choice 2'){

g_form.removeOption('field 2','values 1');
g_form.removeOption('field 2','values 2');
}
}

Please mark as Correct Answer/Helpful, if applicable.

Hi prathyusha,

You will need to create an on change client script for the initial field with the three choices.  From there, you can use g_from.setVisible() to control what fields are seen and g_form.setLabelOf() to change the label that appears for the visible fields.

If you are showing the same fields and just making it look like the fields change because the label changes, that will work.  Otherwise, you just need to have all the fields on the form and turn them on/off as needed.

The only other alternative is to define a set of generic fields on your form and populate them when the value of the 3 choices field changes.  Then you'll need an on submit client script or a before insert/update business rule to decide what goes where into the table.

Hope that helps.
