update the massupdate options dropdown to not include options?

Question

Hello

So I am trying to setup the massupdate feature in a certain module (opportunities) so that when "Sales Stage" is Selected -- the option of "Closed Lost" does not appear as a selection.

I have managed to pinpoint the Select Element "sales_stage" and have updated the options associated but yet the drop is still there.

I created this function that I call before render hoping it will alter the list options.

manipulateDrop: function() {
   var salesdrop = app.lang.getAppListStrings('sales_stage_dom');
   Object.keys(salesdrop).forEach(function(key){
   if (salesdrop[key] === "Closed Lost") {
      delete salesdrop[key];
   }
});
this.model.fields['sales_stage'].options = salesdrop;
},

On the page I inspect and see that the select dropdown options do not contain the "closed Lost" option yet it is still there.

Does anyone have an idea as to why i cant hide this via the JS?

For this to work the code needs to be run in the set_metadata function of the massupdate. //Target the Opportunities. var SS = app.metadata.getModule('Opportunities').fields.sales_stage; //get the sales stage drop and alter. var salesdrop = app.lang.getAppListStrings('sales_stage_dom'); Object.keys(salesdrop).forEach(function(key){ if (salesdrop[key] === "Closed Lost") { delete salesdrop[key]; } }); //set the target SS.options = salesdrop; then you can call the _super setMetadata -- your removed option will not be in the dropdown.
