ChoiceVar Filter

[kdakss]

As ...

Cora - Coder

I want ...

Company = ChoiceVar(

    label="Company",

    description="Target platform to be updated",

    choices=tuple(get_company_choices())

)


kit_type = ChoiceVar(

    label="Kit Type",

    description="New kit type for the target tenant",

    choices=tuple(get_kit_choices())

)

Scenario: Company D uses a different brand of kits than the rest of the organization. I have a tuple of different kits, which are also separated by brand. Say I want, if company D is selected, the choices for kit_type only show the brand that Company D uses, ensuring that throughout the organization, companies only see the brand of kits associated to them. So, it's a dynamic filter of the dropdown. I have been trying different if, else statements to no prevail. For security, I hope this makes sense and doesn't sound too vague. Any ideas of if this is possible?

I've tried separate functions like get_kit_choices and get_d_kit_choices where if company == "d" choices=tuple(get_d_kit_choices()) else choices=tuple(get_kit_choices()).

So that ...

Companies when they run the job and select their company, they go to select their kit and only see the brands that that company uses. I could end up having 30 different kits and the drop-down could get long and messy. I want to limit the view,

I know this is done when...

I select the company, then I don't see every kit in the organization, only the brand of kits associated to the company

The way I'd probably tackle this, without needing to wait for any enhancements to core, would be to have the ChoiceVar declaration accept all possible kit type choices, then use a custom HTML template + JS to have the browser filter the displayed choices when a company is selected, then have the Job run() double-check that the selected kit type is in fact valid for the selected company.
