Select options as a callback?

rocketreading

Hi there,

I'm looking to find a way to have a cell's select options dependant on another field's value - and when that other field's value changes, the field's options change (just for that row).

Is this possible?

Many thanks.

Hi,

The dependent() method was designed to handle this. This example shows how dependent() can be used, albeit not to update an options list in this case, but that is an option based on the returned information.

Thank you.

Two things: how do I access the correct row/cell to update with the below? Also - how can I ensure the host field is updated server-side?

Many thanks.

  editors[id].dependent('company_id', function(val, data, callback) {

                // get tests code

                    var tests = new Object;

                    for (var test in $response.company.tests) {
                        // add as option to Test field
                        tests[$response.company.tests[test].id] = $response.company.tests[test].name;
                    }

                    editor.field('test_id').update(tests);

                });

            });

The row information is passed in using the data property - that will give the information about the row that is currently being edited, and thus (I presume) what you want to base the options upon?

Also - how can I ensure the host field is updated server-side?

The value should be submitted as normal when you submit the form.
