Field dependancy : display a textfield dependant from a custom multi-enum

Hello there !

i'm building a new project under Sugar Pro 7.5.2 and i'm meeting some difficulties :

What i have and what i would like :

I have created a muliple choices dropdown, and a textfield.
I would like to display the textfield only if the user choses a specific value of my multi-enum dropdown.

So normally i would do that through studio, with the dependancy formula.

What i tried and what failed :

But there is a problem : my multi choice dpdwn is not showing under the Fields column in the formula editor. And even if i try to add it manually in my formula, i have an error of "field unrecognized".

So, how can i display a field on a Multi select field dependancy ?

I did not find any tips or tricks in my Community search, i even found martin peet being unanswered :
Using a Multi select box as dependancey criteria

it's been one year !

Please, tell me if i'll have to do that by code, and how.

Have a nice day ! :)

I would do like this: in your editviewdefs file, include in you field the follow:
'displayParams' =>
array (
'field' =>
array (
'onchange' => 'someFunction()',
),

In this function you may programming via java script the code to handle the hide/display logic.

Hi,

In your record view controller, you can handle this scenario using the following code:

    extendsFrom: 'RecordView',
    initialize: function(options) {
        this.plugins = _.union(this.plugins || [], ['HistoricalSummary']);
        this._super('initialize', [options]);
  this.model.on("change:is_show_c",this.CustomOnChange, this);
    },
 CustomOnChange: function(){
   var is_show_c1=this.model.get('is_show_c');
   if (is_show_c1 == "No")
    $('[data-name="testfield_c"]').hide();
   else
    $('[data-name="testfield_c"]').show();
   },


// is_show_c is the multi select field
// testfield_c is the text field

Hi Rafael,
Thank you for your answer, but this little code only works for Sugar 6, not Sugar 7 (we do not have ediviewdefs anymore in 7)
Have a nice day !

Well, @Rolustech, i think in fact your solution works for simple dropdown, but not for multi select dropdown ...

Or maybe i'm wrong ? here is my code, (with scoring_2_roues_c being the dropdown and detail_scoring_2_roues_c being my text field to hide).

({    extendsFrom: 'RecordView',
    initialize: function(options) {
        /*this.plugins = _.union(this.plugins || [], ['HistoricalSummary']);
        this._super('initialize', [options]);*/
  this.model.on("change:scoring_2_roues_c",this.CustomOnChange, this);
    },
 CustomOnChange: function(){
   var scorValue=this.model.get('scoring_2_roues_c');
   alert(scorValue);
   if (scorValue == "sautr")
    $('[data-name="detail_scoring_2_roues_c"]').hide();
   else
    $('[data-name="detail_scoring_2_roues_c"]').show();
   },
})

And i put it in custom/modules/Leads/clients/views/record/record.js

We have tested this code snippet with multi select dropdown, please remove the block comment from your code and the correct path should be custom/modules/Leads/clients/base/views/record/record.js.

I've moved my record.js file, and removed the comment block, but there is not much improvement.
it seems that Sugar does not even consider my file.
i've added a little
console.log("we are overriding record"); into the initialize function, but even that is not showing..
If you have any help, i'll be glad to hear it :)
