Hi, cagatay

You could do that using javascript event onchange which modify the visibility of the field.

Dear andopes

I know that it is easy with JS, but how can I integrate JS with SugarCRM ?

With which file? In which field? Line? etc...

Has nobody try and do that?

Hi, cagatay.

You will modify only the file custom/modules/YourModule/metadata/editviewdefs.php
If it does not exist so copy from modules/YourModule/metadata/editviewdefs.php

Inside the 'templateMeta' array insert a new entry:

 'include' => array(
    array('file' => 'modules/YourModule/YourModule.js'),
), 
  

It will include the new js to the current page.

You must add a new entry to dropdown field:

 'displayParams'=>array('required'=>true, 'javascript'=>'onchange="functionToCall();"'), 
  

This will define the onchage event to this field.

You must define a custom code to the field whose visibility will be set by the dropdown.

That is all, folks.

Hi,
I wrote a small guide that explains how to add custom javascript code.
You can find it here.
In my guide, I show how to link 2 dropdowns, but you could easily change it to work with text fields.
