AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Yes, it is possible to dynamically filter a dropdown on a record based on another field's value in NetSuite. This can be achieved by using the "Sourcing and Filtering" tab in the field definition. Here's a general approach: 1. Create two custom fields. For example, let's say we have a 'Method' field and an 'Output' field. The 'Method' field is a dropdown list with values 1, 2, 3 and the 'Output' field is a dropdown with values 1.1, 2.1, 3.1. 2. You can set up a dependency between these two fields using the "Sourcing and Filtering" tab in the field definition. This allows you to filter the options available in the 'Output' field based on the value selected in the 'Method' field. 3. If the 'Output' field is a custom record, it can have a field on it for 'Method'. Each 'Output' record has a value for 'Method'. Then your custom field for 'Output' can use the defaulting to filter by 'Method'. 4. If all the fields are native fields, then a workflow would best suit your needs. However, if all the fields are custom fields, you can build the dependencies between the two lists on a custom record. Please note that this approach requires some understanding of how to work with custom fields and records in NetSuite.
