Hi,
I have a drop down list and I would like to display it's content dynamically based on the user group.

 

drop down value:

 

1 - value1
2 - value2

 

User group A should only see "1 - value1" and user group B should only se "2".

 

Does anyone have an expression for that?
thanks!

  Hello Fred

   

  I prepared script for this task for you.

   

  Imagine that we have dropdown list with name DROP_DOWN_MENU . This dropdown has few options:
  option1,option2,option3.And we have two users. First user belong to GROUP_A second to to GROUP_B appropriately.User from GROUP_A should only see option1,option2, user from GROUP_B should only see option2,option3.

   

  1.First of all you must create Form Load Action (Behaviour tab)
  2.In  Form Load Action click on edit -> Add action -> set preferred action Title -> select Type=Execute Script -> insert in text area code below: (save this action and form after that)

   

   

  var firstGroup = "GROUP_A";
  var valuesThatUserFromGroup_A_canSee = ["option1","option2"];
  
  var secondGroup = "GROUP_B";
  var valuesThatUserFromGroup_B_canSee = ["option2","option3"];
  
  var dropdownName = "DROP_DOWN_MENU ";
  
  if( [[@User.IsMemberOfGroup(firstGroup)]]  ){
   setDropDownValue( dropdownName , valuesThatUserFromGroup_A_canSee );
  }
  
  if( [[@User.IsMemberOfGroup(secondGroup)]]  ){
   setDropDownValue( dropdownName , valuesThatUserFromGroup_B_canSee );
  }
  
  function setDropDownValue(dropdownName, dropdownOptions){
    var _select = jQuery("span[fieldname="+dropdownName+"]").find("select[id$='DropDownChoice']");
    _select.empty();
    var options = '';  
    dropdownOptions.forEach(function(item, i, arr) {
    options+= ""+item+"" ;
    });
    _select.html(options);
  }
  

   

   

  3.After that configure that code according to your dropdown and group names:

   

  var firstGroup = "GROUP_A"; // Your first group name

   

  var valuesThatUserFromGroup_A_canSee = ["option1","option2"]; // Options wich users from group A can see in dropdown list. You can set your own options ["myOption1","myOption2"]
  ...
  var dropdownName = "DROP_DOWN_MENU "; // Your dropdown list name

   

  THIS CODE  WILL WORKS ONLY  IF YOU HAVE TWO GROUPS
  If you want handle more than two group you must extend this code.

   

  Thank you.
