Dependent values between attributes

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to build a list of allowed values for an attribute based on the value of another attribute?
I explain: I'd like that allowed values of department attribute depend on the value selected in list of allowed values for OU attribute. The same for division attribute, allowed values could depend on department value selected.

Am I clear enough?

I'm not sure this is a common usage, but it would be really usefull for us.

Thanks for your response,
Yoann

Hello Yoann,

Unfortunately, such functionality is currently unavailable. It is in our TODO list.

As a workaround, we may suggest that you create a Business Rule that will get the value of one of the properties and then check whether the value of another property falls within the range of allowed values. If it doesn't fall within the range of allowed values, the Business Rule will cancel the operation. Take a look at the Validate/Modify User Input Using a Script Tutorial. If you have any difficulties withn the Business Rule, we may help you.
