==General Description==
This field type is used to create sets of fields that are dependent on a value selected from the Dynamic Control field. This field type is displayed as a combo box. Depending on the options selected, additional fields will be displayed. In the example above, selecting Yes as the value for the Legal Representation field displays all related fields.

==Enhancements==This feature was enhanced (Apr 2016). The purpose of the enhancements were to update the design of dynamic control custom field for more consistent and improved behavior.<br /><br />Enhancements included: * Modified the dynamic control field so it renders as individual fields as opposed to divs of field sets* When a parent option changes, ajax is used to control the visibility of the sub fields* When sub fields are hidden, they are also disabled to support Smartcheck and also prevent data from posting
{{FieldOptions}}
{{AllowEmpty}}{{AppearMandatory}}* '''Values''' control the options displayed in combo box. For example: '''No;Yes'''{{Searchable}}{{TrackChanges}}{{ShowAsRadioButtons}}{{ShowDisplayValueInListViews}}{{EnableServerSideValidation}}{{EnableKML}}{{DisableQuickEdit}}

{{HideFieldForNewRecord}}

{{DisableFromGlobalSearch}}
{{CustomHTMLTag}}
==Special Field Options== * '''Values''' control the options displayed in combo box. For example: '''No;Yes'''
Values are separated by semi-colons with no spaces. If the '''Allow Empty''' option is set to unchecked, then the first value will need to be a prompt for the [[User|user]] as the value will not be accepted as a valid selection. For example: '''Select from List;Yes;No'''
In this example, one set of [[Custom Field|custom fields]] can be displayed if '''Yes''' is selected, and an alternative set of fields displayed if '''No''' is selected.
'''Addition Custom fields''' – additional custom fields are added to the field.
[[Image:Cf23Cf_dcf_ex3.png|link=|900px]] The '''Tab''' name is used to control the sub-fields to be displayed. In this example, setting the tab name to '''Yes''' displays the fields when '''Yes''' is selected in the '''Dynamic Control''' field.

==Move to Parent Level==If a client wishes to convert Dynamic Control sub fields to [[Dynamic Field Visibility Control|Branching fields]] then there is now a button on both custom field list view and edit custom field page to '''Move to Parent level'''. It will automatically copy the [[Display order]] from the original parent field to the sub-fields when moving the sub fields. This means the sub-fields should continue to be displayed close to the original parent field when shown on screen.
==Notes==

When using a dynamic control field beneath a '''Title bar''' field the number of columns of the title bar must be set to 1.
You can determine the fields to be displayed based on more than a single value. For example, if the field options are: '''Select From List;Less than 100;Between 100 and 200;Greater than 300'''. You could set the value for a given field to display in more than one selection. Setting the value to '''Less than 100;Greater than 300''' would display the field when either of these options was selected.
