Filter Option values in Form

Y_1716 · 2016-04-14

Hi

I have a form with a text box of type Option, and it has values in the OptionString property ; <Senior Manager, Manager, Senior Partner, Partner>
Is it possible to filter these depending on a criteria?

Thanks,
Y_1716

Hey,

The solution will be something like this,

1. Make a new table say A.
2. Add two fields as Entry No and Description.(Entry No will be Auto Increment primary key and Description will be the Option types.)
3. Make a page of it Say Page B.
4. Add the Page ID in the LookuppageID of the Table
5. You can map some fields based on which you want to show the DropDowns, eg say on some Flag.

Code you need to write is on the OnLookup Trigger.

A.SETRANGE(FLAG,TRUE);
IF PAGE.RUNMODAL(0,A) = ACTION::LookupOK THEN
FieldVaribale := A.Description.

Hey Y_1716,

Can you elaborate your question a bit more please.

VarOption := Senior Manager,Manager,Senior Partner,Partner
TextBox50000.SourceExpr := VarOption

<TextBox50000> - OnAfterValidate()
SETRANGE("My Field",VarOption);

Hi,
Press Filter field button or F7 while cursor on this field and filter.
This is standard Nav functionality.

Hi RockWithNAV,
I would like to set a criteria that if that is satisfied, not all 4 options of the option string are displayed (for example display only <Senior Manager, Senior Partner> )

thanks

Filtering the options in a field itself is not possible.

is correct.

But you can create a copy of the field with Senior Manager,,, Senior Partner,, and then do some extra coding

Hey Y_1716,

As I understood you have a 3 4 different option in a Option Data Type field or Variable. What you want is on to some certain condition you want only selected option type to be visible when user clicks the Option Type Field. If this is the requirement then I will say you cant handle this with a Option data type but instead if you will handle this with lookups then I believe you can achieve what you want.

Hi rockWithNAV,
then is it possible to lookup a list and set default filters on that list? Cause I'm not sure how this can be done.
Thanks, Y_1716.

Hello
I would advice you to create couple textboxes with different sets of data and turn visibility of one of them depending on your requirements.
I can afford following example using table 37 and ruling available Type options depending on Document Type value
for Quote - empty, G/L Acoount and Item
for Order - empty, Resource and Fixed Asset
for Invoice/Credit Memo - empty, Charge (Item), Title and Begin-total
for Blanket/Return Order - empty, End-total and New page

as a result you can move all Type controls (Type1, Type2, Type3, Type4) into the same place and user will no notice difference. I did not overlap them because of clarity of experiment result.
