The Developer Toolkit add module in SugarForge can do this.

Hi,

I would suggest use different panels to make the fields separate and show/hide panels using javascript.

Hi there.

I forgot to say, this is still 4.5.3.

Hi,

As you are using 4.5.3, you can modify your EditView.html and separate the fields in a div to show/hide using javascript.

HUH? Sorry, your words were like rockets flying past me. I am not a programmer but a simple administrator.
Please explain more.

Hi,

Cannot write down the code here, and as you are not a programmer my guidelines will go pass over again. Either provide the EditView.html & EditView.php of concerned module here or email me @ davidboris@live.com

Hi David

I am trying to get the same it is explained in this post. I have created a new custom module and divided the fields in panels. One of the fields is a dropdown field that has values "Positive/Negative". Then I have a list of 5 CheckBox fields that only should be visible if the dropdown value is Negative. (It would be greate if this could be done as soon as the value in the dropdown field changes, with no need to save the record once the dropdown field changes and then reopen the record)

Could you explain me how to do this with JavaScript?. My program knowledge is not very high but if you pass me an example I thinks I will figure out how to do this.

Let me know if you would like my EditView.php or my DetailView.php of the module.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Add one custom field to the module.
choose type as relate and filled all the require field,also choose the correct module name in Module field.
As you want the field to be dependent, check the dependent option and write the formula there
