I have setup a conditional dropdown with two fields and would like to turn off the ability to create new dropdown options for a particular role. Currently at the bottom of the dropdown list it shows the option to create a new option.
Thanks
Hey Brian,
Right click on your field and uncheck " Allow users to create new choices".

Go to the settings for the application and their roles and manage roles and go to either the permissions or the user interface for that role and take away the permission to add records to that table of choices.
Ok I am either confused or not understanding. Here is a screengrab of the table access for the role I want to modify. What do I have wrong?
Brian,
If you are using a table for your dropdown, you can restrict this by editing the role of your users, for example, the role of PARTICIPANTS cannot create a new record, thus eliminating that prompt.
Hi Chuck, thanks for the response. Not sure if you saw my response above but I am certainly not understanding what it is to do. Any more direction would be much appreciated. Here is the role I am trying to edit.
Brian,
From anywhere in your app, click on the Users tab,
on the right top of this screen, select Manage Roles
select the role that you want to limit (creating a record)
now locate the table of your drop-down selections.
uncheck the "Add" column for that table.
You, as an admin, will always see the add new record option in the dropdown unless you test your app as the role in question to validate that role can no longer make record additions. This is located in your username dropdown for modifying preferences and billing.
