Remove an option from select box variable in the catalog item form

[Eli Guttman]

Hi,

I have a form, with a select box variable. the option is this select box is defined question choice.

Now, one of the values is no longer relevant, and i would like to deactivate it - meaning i don't want it to appear anymore for users, but i also don't want to delete as a value.

what is the best way to remove it in the catalog item form?

Thank you!

Unfortunately, there's not a built-in 'Active' flag for these.   I usually just end up deleting the choice but you could also add the choice to a separate, unassociated dummy variable just so you could keep it around but not have it visible.   Outside of that, you can remove the choices with client scripting but that's not really a good solution if you're doing away with the choice for good.

g_form.removeOption('duration', 'twelve_months');

Thank you,

g_form.removeOption('duration', 'twelve_months'); is what is was looking for.

I would love to, but i'm not sure how.

I know that there suppose to be a button to make answers as true, but for some reason i don't see it next to you answer or my question.

Do you have any idea why?
