Real-Life Examples​

Here are some examples of how you might use the "Remove dropdown choice" action in your application:

  1. Removing an "Out of Stock" product option:

    • Scenario: You have a product order form with a dropdown for product options. If a specific product variant goes out of stock, you want to remove it from the list.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Product_Options_Dropdown (the dropdown field on your form)
      • Code of choice: SKU_XYZ_OutOfStock (the unique code for the out-of-stock product variant)
    • Result: The "SKU_XYZ_OutOfStock" option is no longer visible or selectable in the Product_Options_Dropdown on the form.

  2. Hiding a "Manager Approval" option for regular users:

    • Scenario: In a workflow approval form, the "Manager Approval" option should only be available to users with a "Manager" role. For regular users, this option should be removed.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Approval_Type_Dropdown (the dropdown field for approval types)
      • Code of choice: MANAGER_APPROVAL (the code for the manager approval option)
    • Result: If the current user is not a manager, the MANAGER_APPROVAL option is removed from the Approval_Type_Dropdown, preventing them from selecting it.

  3. Cleaning up old project statuses:

    • Scenario: Your project management application has a dropdown for project statuses. An old status like "On Hold (Legacy)" is no longer used and needs to be removed from active projects.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Project_Status_Dropdown (the dropdown field displaying project statuses)
      • Code of choice: ON_HOLD_LEGACY (the code for the outdated status)
    • Result: The ON_HOLD_LEGACY option is removed from the Project_Status_Dropdown for all relevant projects, ensuring users only see current status options.
