Parameter constraints based on another parameters selected values

Hi All,

So I was wondering if it was possible to change a parameters constraint based on another parameters selected values within the same action type.

Basically I have two parameters that would both ideally be drop downs. The first parameter has options I manually entered let’s say “Category1”, “Category2”, and “Category3”. Then depending on what the user selectes let’s say Category1 and Category3, then the 2nd parameter would be visible and its constraints would be “Subcategory1.1, Subcategory1.2,Subcategory3.1, Subcategory3.2”. I know about the overrides but it seems very limitied and if I went that route it would be very tedious. Let me know if there is another route that makes more sense.

You can use “filter results of a parameter dropdown” on your second parameter, which will restrict options based on the first parameter’s selection.

Modeling as linked object types:

Create a link in the Ontology (Category → Subcategory). Then:

  1. First parameter: object parameter on Category

  2. Second parameter: object parameter on Subcategory, with dropdown filtered by the first parameter’s selection via the link

When the user selects a Category, the Subcategory dropdown automatically shows only its linked subcategories and allows you to scale as you add categories.
