AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Yes, a Client Script can dynamically limit the options in a dropdown field based on another field’s value. This can be achieved by creating a dynamic custom field in the script and populating that field with the desired values. This can be done using a combination of before load and client scripts. The native field can be hidden and the dynamic custom field can be placed where the native field was using the
insertfield
method. In the case of having two dropdown fields where the values of the second dropdown field are dependent on the values of the first dropdown field, this can be implemented by using the
Field.insertSelectOption
and
Field.removeSelectOption
methods to manage the options in the second dropdown based on the selected value in the first dropdown. In a Suitelet, if you have a SELECT that needs to control the options available on another select in the same Suitelet, you would need to create a client script and attach it to the Suitelet via the
clientScriptModulePath
.
