Question

Custom drop-down field - hiding choices for some but not all forms

Hi, appreciate if anyone can assist. I have a custom dropdown field which is used in multiple custom forms. I want to hide some of the choices available on one of my forms though to simplify the range of choices available for a particular form. However, when I hide a choice it does so on all forms not just the form I'm working on. I'd rather not create multiple versions of the same field but with varying list of available drop-down choices if it can be helped.

Anything I'm missing or workarounds??

Thanks

    Hi Richard!

    On the custom form that you are working on, if you scroll down, you will see a button that says "Add Logic"

    If the information you want to hide is part of a section (this is the gold title header), then you would want to use the display logic.

    Thanks!

    Hi thanks, unfortunately it's the choices within a drop down field that I want to hide, not the field itself.

    Kind regards

      If you're looking for a quick solve, you may want to think about the logic of the forms as getting an idea approved and implemented in WF may take a while.

      Can the list be broken into categories where a logic can be added:

      If x and y checkboxes are shown, this dropdown displays.

      Thanks and good luck!

      We have the same issue and I ended up just having to duplicate the custom field because I couldn't figure this out...would also love an answer on this for future reference.
