I am new to SharePoint forms in O365. I have a created a form which has cascading drop downs.

1) Country - A normal drop down field

2) State - A cascading drop down field linked to Country

3) City - A cascading drop down field linked to State

If the user selects a city named "XYZ" I want another field "Comments" hidden.

Using some online tutorials i learnt and executed the below code which works if its an independent drop down field. As my drop-down field "City" is linked to other drop-down this code is not working.

Any help on executing the correct code.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        //Show/hide columns based on Drop Down Selection
        $("select[title='City Required Field']").change(function() {
           if ($("select[title='City Required Field']").val() != "XYZ")
           {
              $('nobr:contains("Comments")').closest('tr').hide();
           }
           else
           {
              $('nobr:contains("Comments")').closest('tr').show();
           }
       });
    });
</script>

  • What do you mean by "As my drop-down field "City" is linked to other drop-down"? Can you please add the complete code? Have you written .change() for City for multiple times? Jan 7, 2020 at 9:29
  • Dear Ganesh, I meant the field "City" is not a stand alone. The values in this drop down field keeps varying... e.g. Firstly user selects a vlaue from "Country" drop down, based on that selection, the value in the next dropdown "State" appear (i.e. if user selects India as Country - Kar, TN, AP appears as values in State Drop down) and Based on the State selected, values in City drop down field appears. For cascading drop down i have a different script written.

  • You can work with PowerApps to achieve your purpose Jan 7, 2020 at 9:41
  • @Srikanth: Please check if the change mehtod of "City" dropdown is being called on change of "State" dropdown. ? Have you written the change method of State dropdown which will call the change method of City Jan 7, 2020 at 9:41

You can make use of id attribute of your City dropdown to call Change event. In this case, I assumed id as city.

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#city").change(function() {
    if(this.value=="XYZ")
    {
        $('#Comments').css('display','none');
    }
});});

  • How can you inject that JS script to SharePoint form ? Jan 7, 2020 at 10:47
  • @Srikanth I have modified the code from on change to change event which will be executable in your case. Jan 7, 2020 at 11:21
  • @AIMENBOULAHIA there are various ways to inject JS in the form like SEWP or CEWP etc. can also be injected directly to the page. Jan 7, 2020 at 11:24

    @AIMENBOULAHIA if you explain your situation little more, I can be able to help you out with the situation but from what I understood, I can say doing customization, you can achieve showing/hiding the fields based on permission assigned to user Role. Jan 7, 2020 at 11:53

I don't know how to achieve that using JS scripts, but I would like to share with you how to do it with PowerApps (which is really cool and even non-developers can achieve that)

Please refer to Mr Shane Young which i find him very professional guy, and here the link: PowerApps Cascading Dropdown , here you will find exactly what you want and more !

Good luck.
