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

Gaelle Fernandez
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

    Well, first of all, Thanks a lot @Rolustech for your patience, and yes, i had run a Quick Repair (that is the first thing you learn about Sugar, haha !), and thanks a lot, you put me on the right tracks !

    @EvilPeri, thanks a lot too, I did not know how worked the multi-select field, and that was the first question i was wondering myself. You put me on the right tracks too !
    Because you have some knowledge on multi-select, do you know wich part of the list is in the array/object ? i mean, are they the value or the labels ?

    And yes @Maira Jessy, I love to discuss about Sugar like this, i always learn new tricks and improve my code with such people, who has the will to share their knowledges :)

    For the moment, i haven't got the total solution, but i will digg some more, and i'm sure it is not that far away :)

    Thanks to both of you @EvilPeri and @Rolsutech, i've made it work, but i still have some questions :
    Here is the code i've wrote in record.js :

    ({    extendsFrom: 'RecordView',
        initialize: function(options) {
      this._super('initialize', [options]);
      /*OnChange on multi-select fields for scoring*/
      this.model.on("change:scoring_2_roues_c",this.Change2Roues, this);
        },
    Change2Roues: function(){  if (_.indexOf(this.model.get('scoring_2_roues_c'), "sautr") == -1){
    $('[data-name="detail_scoring_2_roues_c"]').hide(); //Autres n'est pas sélectionné
    }else{
    $('[data-name="detail_scoring_2_roues_c"]').show(); //Autres est sélectionné
    }
       },
    }) 

    It works great.
    Now here are my 2 questions :
    - It works only when the user is editing a Lead (which has already been created). I have tried to add this code in custom/modules/Leads/clients/base/views/create-actions/create-actions.js, but it does not load when a user is creating a lead...
    Do you have any idea on how to achieve this ?
    - As you can see, the event is the "onchange" on scoring_2_roues_c, but i would like the detail_scoring_2_roues_c to hide (still depending upon scoring_2_roues_c 's values) when the page is launched, so i will have to write some code as the page launch. Which event do i have to use ? How should i call the function ?

    Again, thanks a lot to you, because with your help, i'm making huge improvement !

    Hi Gaelle,

    1- Could you show us create-actions content file?
    2- You have to put into initialize() function this code:
    this.on("render", this.<function_name>, this);

    THANKS SO MUCH @Ruben !
    By putting the render, and by copying my code in create-actions.js, i finally did it ! My final code  in the next response :)
