This post function allows to dynamically add new options, re-enable disabled options, and disable exiting options in cascading select list custom fields.

It supports adding/re-enabling/disabling root options or child options. 


Configuration

Select the cascading select list field that you want to update from the dropdown list or start typing to look up existing fields.


Select the option level that you want to update. The following options are available:

OptionDescription
ParentThis is the default. The main or parent level will be updated.
Child

If you want to add/disable a child option you must additionally select a field containing the name of the parent option.

Example: You specify the field region (custom select list field). If the field contains the value Asia, the option will created as a child option (or disabled) of Asia.



Select the field containing the option value that you want to add / disable. The selected field must contain a text value.

You could use temporary fields. They could be set in a prior post function (e.g. with the Update or copy field values post function) and the set value used in this post function.


Select the action to be executed. The following options are available:

OptionDescription

Add new option, or skip if it already exists

The new option value will be added. If it already exists the operation will be skipped without further analysis. This is the default.

Add new option, or enable if it is disabled

The new option value will be added. If it already exists in a disabled state, it will be enabled.

Force adding new option, even if it already exists

The new option value will be added regardless of whether it already exists. Duplicate entries will likely be the result.

Force adding new option, even if it is disabled

The new option value will be added regardless of whether it already exists - either in an enabled or disabled state. Duplicate entries will likely be the result.

Disable option

The specified option value will be disabled.



Check Sort options alphabetically if you want to keep your option list sorted. If unchecked, the new option value will be added to the bottom of the list.
