I have one Field Interview Rounds in my table that have datatype Enum

field(5; "interview_rounds"; Enum "Interview Rounds Enum")
        {
            Caption = 'Interview Rounds';
        }
 
enum 50100 "Interview Rounds Enum"
{
    Extensible = true;
    value(0; "Initial Screening") { }
    value(1; "Technical Round") { }
    value(2; "HR Round") { }
    value(3; "Final Discussion") { }
    value(4; "Finance Review") { }
    value(5; "Sales Pitch") { }
    value(6; "Marketing Strategy Discussion") { }
    value(7; "Project Planning Assessment") { }
    value(8; "Client Handling Assessment") { }
    value(9; "Administrative Tasks Review") { }
    value(10; "Reception & Communication Skills") { }

Now I want to display options according to the designation name in interview rounds field but  trigger OnAfterGetRecord()
    var
        interview_enum: Enum "Interview Rounds Enum";
    begin
        case Rec.designation_name of
            'Sales Manager':
                begin
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Initial Screening";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Sales Pitch";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Final Discussion";
                end;
            'Marketing Manager':
                begin
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Initial Screening";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Marketing Strategy Discussion";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Final Discussion";
                end;
            'Financial Analyst':
                begin
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Initial Screening";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Finance Review";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Final Discussion";
                end;
            'Project Manager':
                begin
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Initial Screening";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Project Planning Assessment";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Final Discussion";
                end;
            'Account Executive':
                begin
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Initial Screening";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Client Handling Assessment";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"HR Round";
                end;
            'Administrative Assistant':
                begin
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Initial Screening";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"Administrative Tasks Review";
                    Rec.interview_rounds := interview_enum::"HR Round";
                end;
            'Receptionist':
                begin

Good morning, afternoon, or evening - depending on your location :)
Hope you are well today!

To ensure only relevant interview rounds are displayed based on the designation_name, you need to filter the options dynamically when interacting with the Interview Rounds field. The issue is occurring because the code snippet you provided assigns multiple values to the field Rec.interview_rounds, which is not the correct approach for filtering dropdown options.

See below revised:
Key Changes:

Use Temporary Variables for Filtering: Create a temporary list or array to hold the filtered Enum values dynamically based on the designation_name.

Adjust Field Behavior: Override the dropdown display logic for the Interview Rounds field.

Suggested Solution:
trigger OnAfterGetRecord()
var
    interview_enum: Enum "Interview Rounds Enum";
    TempEnumOptions: Text[250];
begin
    TempEnumOptions := ''; // Initialize temporary variable for filtered options.
case Rec.designation_name of
        'Sales Manager':
            begin
                TempEnumOptions := StrSubstNo('%1,%2,%3', interview_enum::"Initial Screening", interview_enum::"Sales Pitch", interview_enum::"Final Discussion");
            end;
        'Marketing Manager':
            begin
                TempEnumOptions := StrSubstNo('%1,%2,%3', interview_enum::"Initial Screening", interview_enum::"Marketing Strategy Discussion", interview_enum::"Final Discussion");
            end;
        'Financial Analyst':
            begin
                TempEnumOptions := StrSubstNo('%1,%2,%3', interview_enum::"Initial Screening", interview_enum::"Finance Review", interview_enum::"Final Discussion");
            end;
        'Project Manager':
            begin
                TempEnumOptions := StrSubstNo('%1,%2,%3', interview_enum::"Initial Screening", interview_enum::"Project Planning Assessment", interview_enum::"Final Discussion");
            end;
        'Account Executive':
            begin
                TempEnumOptions := StrSubstNo('%1,%2,%3', interview_enum::"Initial Screening", interview_enum::"Client Handling Assessment", interview_enum::"HR Round");
            end;
        'Administrative Assistant':
            begin
                TempEnumOptions := StrSubstNo('%1,%2,%3', interview_enum::"Initial Screening", interview_enum::"Administrative Tasks Review", interview_enum::"HR Round");
            end;
        'Receptionist':
            begin
                TempEnumOptions := StrSubstNo('%1,%2,%3', interview_enum::"Initial Screening", interview_enum::"Reception & Communication Skills", interview_enum::"HR Round");
            end;
    end;
// Apply filtered options to Interview Rounds field.
    Rec.FilterEnumField("interview_rounds", TempEnumOptions);
end;
Explanation of Changes:

Temporary List for Enum Options: A dynamic list (TempEnumOptions) is built using filtered values based on the designation_name.

Dynamic Filtering: The Rec.FilterEnumField method (or equivalent in your version of AL/D365) applies this filtered list to the field's dropdown options.

Display Only Relevant Options: The dropdown now displays options specific to the designation, preventing all Enum values from being shown.

Hope this helps :)

Enums in Business Central can’t be filtered dynamically based on another field like designation_name, so your current approach won't work as intended. Instead, replace the Enum with a lookup to a custom table (e.g., "Interview Round Setup") that stores allowed interview rounds per designation. Then, use a TableRelation on your field to filter rounds by designation—this way, only the relevant rounds will show based on the selected designation
