Hi suneel,

Please follow the below steps to create the category and subcategory or any fields in Now mobile.

1. Open the Application on studio and under Action Items module select the Action Item that you created.

It will look like below screen. On set Fields Values section need to map all the fields that you created.

 2. To map the fields as above screen, first you need to create those fields(Data parameters) using the related list New button as shown below screen.

7. Click on New button to map the UI parameters and data parameters that you created on step 1 and 2 .

Hi @devservicenow k and @Pavankumar_1 hope you can help, I've read through this post and others and am still having trouble getting Incident Category and Subcategory to work correctly on my mobile app form.

 

When I add a "simple" Choice field (one with no dependencies) to the mobile form, it works no problem. But when I add the Category and Subcategory fields, the field name is displayed but there are no choice buttons to select from (note that in my system the Category field is dependent on another field, and Subcategory is dependent on Category). I've attached a screen print of what my mobile form looks like. All the Choice fields show the applicable choice selections, except Category and Subcategory. And this is on Xanadu!Mobile Input Form Screenshot.png
