Hi all,
I’m new to ServiceNow and am trying to figure out how to set up the Service Catalog.
I need to implement a Lookup Select Box question that filters its options based on another field.
The only way I’ve managed to get filtering to work is by switching the field type to Reference and using a Simple reference qualifier. However, when I use Lookup Select Box with a fixed reference qualifier (as shown in the screenshot), it doesn’t behave the same.
I have another field that has this kind of dependency working correctly, but I haven’t been able to replicate it.
What am I missing? What is correct way to format reference qualifier?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello @StefanSrba, can you please do as following:
- replace reference qualifier as:
adding screenshot so that you use right javascript
javascript: 'u_operating_system='+current.variables.u_operating_system;
- use Variable Attribute as:
ref_qual_elements=u_operating_system

Nishant
