Dynamic Dropdowns?

[kit_ethan]

Hi,

I'm new to SugarCRM and have been exploring its functionalities. And I must say, it is a very powerful application.

One thing though that I could not implement is a dynamic dropdown where its values depend on other dropdowns. Is this possible?

Let's say I have a "Category" and a "Sub-Category" dropdown. If I select Category X, I want to limit the display of the "Sub-Category" dropdown to those under Category X. This is similar to the releationships between modules.

Hope this is possible. Thanks.

There isnt a way to do this with adding some custom code. You cant create chained selects from the Custom Dropdown editor although I have been thinking about how to add this, but it's a UI nightmare so far.

I see. Thanks for the reply.

IF this would involve custom code, can you recommend the easiest way to do it?

Is it possible to place queries within en_us.lang.php where all dropdown items are located?

Thanks.

No, you would have to add javascript to the editview.html and some code to fill the different options in editview.php.
