Dynamically "Lookup label field(s)" Catalog variable setting via onChange script?

[Ron28]

I have a catalog item that has 4 variables/questions that are all similar, all getting information from a kubernetes namespace table but with different options. Currently I have this set up with 4 different questions each reading the table with different options and hide/display the relevant question depending on the options selected. 

I wondered if there was a neater way so that I will only get a single variable in my flow, as currently I need the flow to work out which of the 4 variables to use depending on options.

I already change the list of namespaces the user can select via onChange and script include and use a reference qualifier of 'sys_idINsysid_list'. However, this does not change the "Lookup label field" - I would like to update that too so that the user can select the correct namespace.

For example, when no options are specified, I want the user to select the items by showing a list of all Namespace names.
Specify the "partition" option, then I would like to see "namespace | partition" in the dropdown box  so that the user can select either namespace "abc | 1" or "abc | 2" depending on the partition they want to use.

Therefore I would like to know if it is possible to change this field in the Type Specifications via a script:


Anyone?

Thanks
Ron

Hi @Ron28 ,

Why not use variable attributes and show four columns when clicked on reference field ?

Hi Najmuddin

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a look at it but was starting to think along the lines of getting an onLoad client script to get the columns of the namespace table I need in an array of objects, put them in a hidden catalog variable and filter what needs to be displayed and pupulate a select box with the items  (and relevant columns) to be displayed.
