List Values of an Enumeration Based on Selection of Another Entry


Rob Olsen (351551) | asked May 26 '15, 11:21 p.m.

I have long list of values for a single enumeration that I can break up depending on the selection of another field on the "Defect" Work item.  For example, I could split my enumeration in to three different enumerations to shorten them up. Based on the select of another field, can I some how validate the selection in that other field and then only display one of the three enumeration lists based on that selection?

Example:

In my "Type" selection attribute, you can select : One, Two or Three

Then in my "Options" attribute, based on what was selected in "Type", I display an enumeration list based on "One" being selected and a different list if "Two" was selected, etc ...

Can this be done??

This did help, thanks, but I am not able to get it to work correctly. 

I have an large enumeration of about 35 items.  I used the "Value Set" as described in the document and selected two enumeration lists.  From the first enumeration, I selected a value, then clicked in the boxes of the values I wanted displayed in the next enumeration.  I did this for the entire list.  I then set "Value Set" in the "Attributes" selection.  I saved it and then tried it out, but with each selection of the first enumeration, I am still seeing the entire list!  I read through the documentation again but cannot see what I am missing.  Any ideas?

Ah, I missed the "Dependencies" step.  All is good!  Thanks for the quick response and answer!
