    i have other issue.

    if you check my form, i have different department and by department i have different expense code.

    and based on department i show and hide related columns.

    i have 100+ fields.

     

    in order to to take your suggestion, i will need to calculate expense code dynamically based on department.

    Hello ronak2303,

    I am not sure if I have understood your question correctly. Do you mean to say that you want o populate a dropdown option dynamically?

    Unfortunately it is currently not possible to dynamically populate s dropdown field. If your requirement is to dynamically display options based on the selection of dropdown field, I would suggest you to please take a look at our "Dynamic Dropdowns" widget and see if that fits into your requirement. 

    Hope this helps.

    Do try it out and get back to us if you have any questions.

    Thank you!
