    Talking Create a field that make other fields apper/disappear

    Hi all,
    I have 4.5.1h version. I'm trying to create a field in opportunity module that modifies the visibility of other fields. Let me explain: what I need is to create a field with a list of products, maybe a dropdown list. If I choose a product I need that another field appears with the related features of the product.

    Can anyone help me?

    Thanks a lot
    Fabio

    I guess that some sort of customization with JS-script (AJAX) is needed here.

    Well, my problem is to differentiate the opportunities according to the product selected. If that is not possible, in your opinion is possible maybe to insert a button that open a popup window with an options list? I mean like the select button in opportunities to select accounts.

    Thanks for support.

    Cool Re: Create a field that make other fields apper/disappear

    Hartag,

    Sounds like you may want to try for a custom module that allows you to get around the built in effects of the standard modules. You might try this.

    BTW the Sugar 5.0 module builder is pretty slick and may help you out here. But that means trying to upgrade. I finally gave up and am rebuilding my customizations in 5.0. Luckily we hadn't yet gone into production with the 4.5.1

    Good luck, I'm running into the same needs and the programming is a pain.

    Sounds like a cascading pick list might do the trick as well. I'm almost positive a feature request has been submitted for these but I don't think anything ever came of it... any response over there Sugar?

    Well, the problem of upgrading to 5.0 version is the complete translation i made of the modules. The use of my sugar is for the management of an insurance agency. So opportunities has been translate to insurances and accounts to customers. I've modified the whole software, so now I am not so happy to upgrade and start all over again.

    If anyone has an idea on how to modify the layout od a module by other fields, or to make a popup windows with options, pls answer us

    Thanks a lot
