It's possible the ACL classify a dynamic dropdown field?

Thank you.

In this case, do you know an another alternative?crythias wrote:ACLs are designed to restrict the available options to a drop down box.

For example: Designate a set of drop-down choice fields to create an unlimited number of categories and sub-categories of which the available choices are restricted in each field based on what was selected in the previous field. For example, if a user selects "Hardware" for "Problem Type", the next drop-down displays a list of hardware types (PC, NIC, Mouse, Keyboard, etc.). If the user picks "NIC", the next drop-down lists known network card problems, etc.crythias wrote:this seems a bit ... ok. so what you're saying is based upon zero presented criteria, these are the only possible options available for the given fields... which accounts for one option apiece for all these fields. That seems more like attributes of the primary field more than something a customer should be aware of.

Sorry about that Crythias,crythias wrote:diemx wrote:Yes, they'll be clicked twice or three times... once to drop down, once to scroll, once to select. It would be better to fuzzy search if you can.
