Divya If - Then fields
Hi,
I am new to salesforce and was wondering if there is a way to do an if-then relationship. Basically, I want to do something very similar to a picklist but instead of the chosen value affecting the contents of just one field, I want it to affect multiple fields.
So, if I choose one value out of a picklist is there a way I can have multiple fields be populated with associated values? Or, is it only a one-one relationship?
Thanks!
Divya
I'm not sure I really understand your question, so I will give a couple answers hoping that one of them helps you.
1) Take a look at the online help for dependent picklists (field dependencies). You can have the user's selection in one picklist control the list of values available in one or more other picklists.
2) Unless you write an sControl, it is not possible to have the user's selection in one picklist populate values in other fields (besides picklists) on the page.
3) You can write a validation rule formula that enforces dependencies between fields. For example, you could say that if Opportunity Stage = "Closed Won", certain other fields on the record must be populated. Take a look at the successforce pages on Validation Rules for examples of how to do this.
I hope one of those answers helps!
