Enable/Disable individual option object in optionset

Posted on by Community Member

This was a very useful feature in the DOM. It enabled an individual option in a set to be disabled when it became obsolete or was not relevant to context.

The feature allowed existing data to be viewed that already had the option, but the option could not be selected for new data.

This is often the case in business where new options replace existing options.

This feature should be supported by CRM.

Thanks Neil, but I need the option to remain, but be disabled. Visible, but not selectable.

Hi ,

You can use dependent picklist option. There is a source code also . Based upon your requirement you can customize.

Thanks Guido. I had sort of arrived at that conclusion myself, but it is good to have confirmation. I think for now I will write a reactive method that will display an error and prevent selection of the option in the optionset's onchange event. A bit clunky, but ok for the number of times I will need it.

Thanks Abhishek, but that will not solve the problem. I have come up with a clunky but viable work around that uses javascript on the onchange event for the optionlist to prevent selection of options deemed invalid.
