Metadata - Paired Dropdown lists
Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2020 9:41 pm
New to Switch, but I was wondering if it is possible to provide a paired dropdown list for the metadata entry?
Something like the user selects their department, say Finance, but there is a related abbreviation for the department - "FIN"
So the dropdown would look something like:
Finance FIN
Customer Service CSR
Operations OPS
Marketing MKT
. . . etc.
The first list is needed because the users do not know the abbreviations. The second portion is needed because it will be used to rename files later.
I know we can code the abbreviation on the backend, we are just wondering if there is a good way around it by just doing a paired dropdown.
Thank you in advance.
