Restrict choices of a field to be visible on a child.

[Kalyani35]

Hi experts,

I have a requirement where we have a field say Type on a cmdb_ci table. This field is meant to have different choices for different classes. FOr example, for class cmdb_ci_server it has 3 choices- 

1. Server 1 

2. Server 2

3. Server 3

Class cmdb_Ci_linux_server should have choices

1. Linux server 1

2. Linux server 2

which works fine, as Linux has defined its own choices on Type field the choices from the parent - cmdb_ci_server will not be available.

But now, for the class cmdb_ci_aix_Server, there are no choices needed as per requirement, but the choices from the cmdb_Ci_linux_server are inherited as Linux is the parent for AIX server.

The option of - Configure choices works well on choices inherited from Task to Incidents but when I tried it in above scenario, it does not work.

Is it possible to restrict this inheritance of choices for particular classes in any other way?

@Chuck Tomasi can you please help here? I have seen your replies on may articles with somewhat similar questions, but this is a kind of different behaviour when it comes to using configure choices option.

Thanks in advance!

Try Dependent value in choice table

Hi Jaya, 

Thanks for reply.

As Class (sys_class_name) is a special field we cannot use Class as a dependent field.
