Hide empty reference field

Hi,

 

I have 2 reference variables.  Variable A and Variable B.  Variable A is a reference to cmn_cost_center.   Variable B is a reference to a custom table and has a reference qualifier for Variable A.  When the user selects an option from Variable A it populates Variable B with a list of items associated to Variable A for the user to select.   That is working correctly.   

 

Here is what I cannot seem to get to work:

If the user selects an option from Variable A that does not have any associated items to Variable B then Variable B should be hidden.

 

What is the best way to hide Variable B if it does not get populated?

 

Thank you in advance for any assistance,

Diana

Hi Diana,

 

This script wont work, you have to write a GlideAjax and call a script include. In there you need to mimic the same query as your Reference Qualifier (u_active=true^u_type=opex_id^u_cost_center='+ current.variables.cost_center;) and check if there are any options present to be shown in variable B, if this count is more than 0 then return back a flag value based on which you can show variable B
