Changing record picker value based another record picker

How do I change the value of one record picker based on the selection made in a previous record picker within a single form?

Thx,
Marc

  • If you're talking about changing the value of the 2nd record picker - you can use form rules to change the value of the reference field, for example.

    If you're talking about having the 2nd record picker only show certain values based on the selection of the 1st record picker, check out this online help article on "Conditional Dropdowns".

      Thx Xavier. I'll check it out. This looks like it might be exactly what I'm looking for.

  • One method would be to use dynamic form rules and many multiple choice text fields.

    Example Fields:
    • Multiple Choice Field1
      • Choice A
      • Choice B
    • Multiple Choice Field2
      • Choice C
      • Choice D
      • Choice E
    • Multiple Choice Field3
      • Choice F
      • Choice G
      • Choice H

    Dynamic Form Rules Example:
    • If Field1 is A, show Field2
    • If Field1 is B, show Field3

      Thx Adam.

      Unfortunately, I don't have anyway of knowing the field values for Field 1 ahead of time. It's a client list of potentially hundreds, if not more.
