Multi Dropdown List, with Child dropdown list and notes

Hi.

OK This might be being a bit ambitious. But Is there a parent and child dropdown menu option that i’m missing.

So I have an initial Drop down list Multi Select object list with 150 or so options. I’d love to be able to use a Multi Select drop down list to add to those selected. But for each of those that i’ve selected to then have a child drop down list with a list of 4 options.

So initial multi select drop down 1-150 You can choose 1, 4, 68, 135 etc. and then for each option that you’ve chosen a second drop down menu offering A, B, C, or D. For each of the selected items.

Am I going to have to do this completely with manual code or is there something I can build on, Sugar seems to have a parent dropdown option? I don’t know if this is available or even possible in Suite. (Or if it would even work in Sugar).

Being Greedy i’d then really love a plain text field for each option as well… But that’s getting a bit carried away…

EDIT: They don’t necessarily need to be multi select in Field A as long as I can add more lines of field A depending on if they have a lot of items to choose :slight_smile:

there is such a thing as a dynamic drop down field which you can add to your modules. Essentially you have a parent drop down and a child drop down. The child drop down will display values according to what is selected in the parent drop down field. is this the functionality which you need?

But adding the text field element onto this idea will be custom work on the application.

Get back and I can explain how to create the dynamic drop down :slight_smile:
