Is there a way to implement dynamic controlled list in share

Jump to solution

I am looking for implementing a dynamic controlled list in share edit properties form, when i select a value in another controlled list then a different set of values should get populated on selection. 

I tried share form configuration and i think It's not possible to do this via content model config and share form configuration.

Yes its not possible ootb. But have a look at the value assistance addon available on github.

https://github.com/dgcloud/alfresco-value-assistance

Go through these docs to understand the functions and see if that fits into your requirements:

Thanks for your response. I gone through the document and it looks promising. I will take reference from github link and try to implement. Thanks again. I will accept this as a solution after I complete my implementation.

I was able to implement the controlled lists by taking the reference of github project. It works fine up to 2 levels. But doesn't support if there are additional levels. But its fine for now as i had to support only two. 
Thanks to the developer and this forum.

Hi @bip1989,

Glad to hear the @abhinavmishra14 was able to help you resolve your issue. Is there any chance that you could supply the code to show others how you overcame your problem? Perhaps we could publish it as a mini tutorial? Let me know if you're interested in pursuing this.

Thanks,

As per the gitHub project reference, added following templates to use it on forms:

At last, Create the data list and configure the values which will be used dynamically. It allowed us to add/update new/existing values

Hi @bip1989 ,

Thanks for trying! I think you will have to post using the <> code snippet tool, or screenshots as a last resort.
