In the opportunities module, I want to have a drop down of options X, Y or Z.
When user selects X: A, B, C D fields should show for user to enter information.
When user selects Y: G, H, I, J fields should show for user to enter information.
When user selects Z: K, L, M, N fields should show for user to enter information.
I have seen some posts that this is done through logic hooks. It is available with the free version and where do I find it. If it is not available, what are some workarounds?
Yes, logic hooks are available with the free version, as all features of SuiteCRM are.
You can find a Developer Guide online with a chapter on Logic hooks. The SugarCRM 6.5 documentation is also valid here.
However, for that kind of thing I don’t think you want a logic hook. The logic hook would act after saving the record, I think what you want is UI effect of showing and hiding fields. For this you would customize the display views and add Javascript.
Can you guide me on the way to customize display views and and javascript. You can possible share a link which you think is the best.
I don’t know, it depends on which view you’re trying to customize, and what you’re trying to achieve…
But this could be a start:
