Change Dropdown field to multiselect field according to Category

Hello Laxmichand Saini,

I don't think that it's safe to change the field type because the data consistency will be wrong in database.

So, in my mind, you need

• a dropdown field, visible if category = specimen
• a multiselect field, visible if category = product
• both fields used the same dropdown list
• a "consolidated" multiselect field where the value is stored (using hook for instance) : so only one value if specimen, possibly many if product
  • this field will be used for reporting etc.

best regards,

Fred

You can not modify a field type on the fly, instead you can create a custom field type which extends from enum (the target field must be a multienum) and in its js controller you may decide whether to render additional options or not. Follow the example below:

If field has a selected option and category is specimen: show all available remaining options

If field has a selected option and category is product: do not show any other option

If selected option has been removed from field: show all available options

You can do this in Studio you don't need to do any custom programming.

Create a MultiSelect Field in Studio. In the field create a dependency. Then you can control which options are available based upon the dependency.
