This post has been closed as a duplicate. All votes have been moved to the original: Custom forms that pull from remote datasource

As a Requestor using a Custom Form, I'd like to:

  • select field values from a list that is populated from external data sources, so I am picking from the most up-to-date values.
  • select a value for Field1 that dynamically narrows my available choices for Field 2, so I can enter form information quickly.
  • type ahead in a field and narrow down the list of remaining available values, so I can find my value quickly.

And if I can't do this, I'd like an API exit on a custom form field, to which I can supply previously entered values to narrow down the list of possible values. For example

  • pick A for Field 1.
  • Pull down list for Field 2 calls an API for Field 2 with Field1=A, and returns a subset of possible values

Love this idea!

Along the same lines:

  1. Type-ahead field type for long lists of field options
  2. Custom Form Field that is a list of filtered Workfront objects. As a couple of examples:
  • A list of users that have a particular job role or custom data value on the user's custom form
  • A list of projects that are current and have a particular custom form attached or are in a specific program

For filtered lists, it would be good to have multiple display options- i.e. type-ahead, dropdown, multi-select dropdown or checkboxes.
