How to Create a Conditional Statement for fields that have multiple option sets

(0) Share

Posted on by SeanaLee

I know how to create conditional statements but, i have some fields that are multiple option sets.

In my mind i have this planned:

If Product family equals this Product, then 6 options in this field are available to pick from

If Product family equals this different Product, then 4 options in same field from above are available to pick from

If Product family equals this different Product, then 2 options in same field from above are available to pick from

If Product family equals this different Product, then 5 options in same field from above are available to pick from

Right now the only options i have are :

Flow - Condition

Actions - Recommendation, Unlock/lock, show error message, Set field value, Set Default value, Set business require, Set visibility

Is this able to be done? If so please help. If i have to make more than one condition then that is fine.

Hi partner,

Yes, but you need to replace the field name and option set value with your owns.

And then just add the JS code into your instance, I provided the steps in my above reply.

RE: How to Create a Conditional Statement for fields that have multiple option sets

Hi partner,

There is no OOB way to do this, and Business Rule also doesn't support this condition.

I recommend you to use JS code to enable this custom condition.

For example, I have two fields on my form:

Option base (option set)

Label Value

A 1

B 2

Multiple condition(multiple option set)

Label Value

Apple 1

Banana 2

Pear 3

Orange 4

Now I want when I choose A in Option Base, only "Pear" and "Orange" are available in Multiple condition, when I choose B, only "Apple" and "Banana" available.

So I created the following code with JS to archive this.

function filterOptions(executionContext){ var formContext=executionContext.getFormContext(); var conditionValue=formContext.getAttribute("new_optionbase").getValue(); var multipleField=formContext.getControl("new_multiplecondition"); if(conditionValue!=null){ //if we select A in conditionField if(conditionValue==1){ multipleField.removeOption(1); multipleField.removeOption(2); //get current options in multiple options var currentOptions=multipleField.getOptions(); if(!checkExisting(currentOptions,3)&&!checkExisting(currentOptions,4)){ multipleField.addOption({value:3,text:"Pear"}); multipleField.addOption({value:4,text:"Orange"}); } } //if we select B in conditionField if(conditionValue==2){ multipleField.removeOption(3); multipleField.removeOption(4); //get current options in multiple options var currentOptions=multipleField.getOptions(); if(!checkExisting(currentOptions,1)&&!checkExisting(currentOptions,2)){ multipleField.addOption({value:1,text:"Apple"}); multipleField.addOption({value:2,text:"Banana"}); } } } } function checkExisting(array, value) { var result = false; array.forEach(item => { if (item.value == value) { result = true; } }) return result; }

To avoid logical errors caused by repeated choices, I added some logical control codes.

Add this function both in form onload event and Option Base onchange event.

Save and publish.

Let's see the results.

When open a new creation form, there are 4 options in multiple condition in default.

When we select A, then only show Pear and Orange.

Select B, only show Apple and Banana.

When you save the record and open it again, this rule is also enabled.

Hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Leo

this should be easier to archive by using JS code register in form onload event
