Can a textbox be enabled after a certain value from a picklist is selected.

Hi All,

   In Opportunity object Can a textbox be enabled (made visible) after a certain value from a picklist is selected, such as "Other"?  This will allow the user to define a reason for this value.  If so, how would I accomplish this? Im using PE

Hi,

 

You cannot make a text field visible after selecting "Other" in the picklist field out of the box. 

 

Workaround is, have the picklist and text field. Have a validation rule mandating the text field when "Other" is selected.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks

 thanks for reply

If i select "other" then the text must be editiable. If i select web or mail then the textbox must in uneditiable mode.how to write validation rule for this issue

Hey,

 

Have a vice versa validation rule. ie. If the picklist != 'other' and the text box is filled, throw the validation rule.

AND(ISPICKVAL( sector__c, "other"), ISBLANK(textbox__c))

You would need to write two validation rules:

 

AND(ISPICKVAL( sector__c, "other"), ISBLANK(textbox__c)) 

 

AND(AND(ISPICKVAL( sector__c, "val1"),ISPICKVAL( sector__c, "val2")), NOT(ISBLANK(textbox__c)))

If you are using VF, then you can use 'rendered' attribute on the text box. Something like below

 

<apex:inputText value ={} rendered = {!sObject.FieldName != 'Other'}

 

This will make sure that the textbox is rendered only if the value of the picklist is Other
