How to set up sub category based on category in incodent form. ex - sub-category should be displayed based on specific category

[Amit95]

When you select category as Hardware - it should only display sub category related to Hardware.

if you select category as Software - it should only display sub category related to Software.

i mean you should not be able to select the sub-category - until you select the category first. i tried to make the sub category read-only, however you cannot select it once you have selected the category.

Under the sys_choice choices for Sub-Category, there is a dependent field, that is where you would input the value of the Category it is dependent on.

How are you setting it read only? A UI Policy should be able to reverse if false, i.e. if Category is Empty > Sub-Category is Read Only would reverse the Read Only if Category is not Empty.

what script to write in the UI policy to set this up?

Hello Amit,

Suppose you want values c & d needs to be shown as subcategory if a is selected and e & f  needs to be shown if you've selected b as category.

you'll do as following

1)Create categories a & b

2)Once created, select value as a and right click and select  configure choices of subcategory

3) Create sub category c & d from enter new item and add it in selected section as shown in screenshot below

4)Similarly select B in category right click and configure choices on sub category and add e & f

Regards,

Surendra
