How to hide a choice from showing in a dropdown?

[astanley]

I have a select box variable that is part of a variable set. This variable set is included in multiple catalog items, but I want to exclude one choice on the select box variable from showing only on one catalog item. Is there a way I can do this without scripting? I tried to create a UI Policy so that, that region (the choice I am trying to exclude) cannot be selected/is not visible, but I am unsure how to do this. Please advise!

Hello,

Write a onload client script:-

var item=g_form.getUniqueValue();

if(item=='sysidofthecatalofitemforwhichyouwanttoremove')

{

g_form.removeOption('fieldname','chioiceoptionvalue');

}

Hi,

You do not need to hard code a Sys id of the catalog item here.

Solution Proposed:

1) Write a Catalog client script on your catalog item itself and use the script below: With this solution your other item will not be affected and this change will be only for this particular item.

You will need a script here and UI Policy will not work in this scenario.

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   g_form.removeOption('VariableName','choiceValue'); // Replace your field Name here and also choice value which you want to remove.
}

Hope this helps. Please mark the answer as correct/helpful based on impact.

Hello shloke, I am unsure of what exactly I am putting in the "variable name" section and the "choice value" section. Am I putting the sysid here or simply putting the name?

Hi @adrienne 

Just make sure you are writing a Catalog Client Script and not a Client Script here. Also if in case you want to make this work when item is submitted just check the different check boxes which is available in Catalog client script shown below:
Highlighted in Red if you want this script to work after form submission in native view as well:
