Hi,

How to create dependable option set for the below mentioned scenario in Jscript.

I have two option set fields 1) "new_dispostion" and 2) new_sub_disposition.

new_disposition Optionset contains values "breakdown" and "others".

And new_sub_disposition option set contains values Prank call, Test call, M&M Call, Sales call.

If I select Breakdown in new_disposition, I have to get "prank call" and "test call" values in the drop down of "new_sub_disposition".

if I select others in the new_diposition, I have to get "M&M call" and "Sales call" in the drop down of "new_sub_disposition".

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Vignesh Babu

Rather than using dropdown list for this scenario i would suggest creating new entity for both optionset and applying filter on the lookup. This approach allows users to add remove values easily and this can be changed whatever way you want.

To implement this you can follow below post

Hi Vignesh,

I would suggest:

1. Create two Entities as Disposition & Sub Disposition.

2. Add Look of Disposition Entity on Sub Disposition and mark it as mandatory.

3. Now you can create all master records in Disposition Entity.

4. Then create Sub disposition records and do mapping with disposition record .

5. Here you are ready with Masters.

6. Now add the lookup of both Disposition & Sub Disposition on required Entity.

7. After Adding both fields lookup on form . Double click on Sub Disposition field.

8. Drag down in General section and do the record filtering as shown in below screen shot.

Note: I am suggesting to add lookup instead of Option set because if future if you have to add more value in both fields then it will be configurable masterand you need not to do code change. It always recommended to do less coding if its doable from CRM configurations. Hope this helps. !!

Kamran
