Rahul Raja Sami

Hi ,

we have a catalog under which we have added Something is broken as category under it we have added Report an Issue (record producer which generates Incidents when submitted).

The issue is when a category is selected , sub category is not getting populated. from the self service view

but sub categories are getting displayed in Native UI and Service Portal.

Hi, In the variable attributes field can you configure as ref_qual_elements=Type your category field name and try one more time. If not working can you share your clean screenshot.

Please mark as helpful/correct answer if helped.

Hi,

working previous but not now?

so what changed in that time frame?

Did you compare that with the earlier solution you implemented against some other higher instance where it is already working?

Hi,

If the variable type is 'Lookup select box' then you should add . toString() end of your query. Please refer below example to understand.

javascript: ('u_req_category='+current.variables.request_category+^active=true').toString().

else can you check your dependent value under sys_choice table. Is that configured correctly.

Please mark as correct answer/ helpful if it helped.
