How to make the Reference fields dependent on catalog item form?

[Scott29]

I have 2 fields on a catalog item:

corporate_security_category

corporate_security_subcategory

The subcategory is dependent on category.

I am not able to get the dependent values to work. I am using an advanced reference qualifier with the following:

javascript: 'name=sc_cat_item^element=corporate_security_subcategory^dependent_value=' + current.variables.corporate_security_category;

Example sys_choice record:

Hello @Scott29 ,

Please add the following in the "Variable attributes" field underneath the Reference qualifier:

ref_qual_elements=corporate_security_category

As per the documentation this is required to get updated values.

Thanks for the suggestion, but no luck, still no matches found on the subcategory field.

Hello @Scott29 ,

Sorry, I did not notice that they are Reference variables. Please change them to Lookup Select Box variables, then it will work.

For the Category variable you would need this reference qualifier, and no "Variable attributes":

name=sc_cat_item^element=corporate_security_category
