Setting Field events dynamically when populating a dynamic dropdown

tshirley 18 Sep, 2018

Hi,

I have used field events in a dropdown to enable and disable other form fields, and this works well. However I have a dropdown that is populated dynamically and I would like to set events and actions etc based on the dynamically loaded values rather than having to fix them.

So the process would be to read the dropdown data from a table into an array, and then based on that array set up field events for each of the dropdown values dynamically, using php.

I can't find any reference to how that can be done, though it may be in the forum somewhere.

Thanks

Tim

Hi Tim,

I think that you'd need to do that using Custom JavaScript triggered when the dropdown changes. I'm not clear exactly how to do that though :-(
