Get Dependent Drop-down Values of a Lead Field
Lets you retrieve all dependent fields for a particular lead field’s value. You can also retrieve a specific dependent field by passing the “ChildSchemaName” parameter.
The “ChildSchemaName” and “Paging” parameters are optional.
For example, let’s assume you have –
- A parent drop-down field “Country” with values India and China
- A dependent (child) drop-down field “City” with values Delhi, Bangalore and Beijing, Shanghai. It behaves in the following way –
- If you select Country=India, the city field will display Delhi and Bangalore
- If you select Country=China, the city field will display Beijing and Shanghai
Following the example, here’s how you can use this API to retrieve the dependent drop-down values associated with say, India –
- In the “ParentSchemaName” parameter, pass the schema name of the “Country” field
- In the “ParentFieldValue” parameter, pass “India”.
- In the “ChildSchemaName” parameter, pass the schema name of the “City” field.*
*If you don’t pass the “ChildSchemaName” parameter, the values of all dependent fields associated with the “ParentFieldValue” will be retrieved.
The response of the example above will return Delhi and Bangalore.
