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'''

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, one set ajax is used to control the visibility of [[Custom Field|custom the sub fields* When sub fields]] can be displayed if are hidden, they are also disabled to support Smartcheck and also prevent data from posting {{FieldOptions}} * '''YesValues''' is selected, and an alternative set of fields control the options displayed if in combo box.

You can determine the ==Move to Parent Level==If a client wishes to convert Dynamic Control sub fields to be displayed based [[Dynamic Field Visibility Control|Branching fields]] then there is now a button on more than a single value. For example, if you set the values for the both custom field list view and edit custom field page to be: '''Select From List;Less than 100; Between 100 and 200;Greater than 300Move to Parent level'''.
You could set It will automatically copy the value for a given [[Display order]] from the original parent field to display in more than one selectionthe sub-fields when moving the sub fields. Setting This means the value sub-fields should continue to be displayed close to '''Less than 100;Greater than 300''' would display the original parent field when either of these options was selectedshown on screen.
You cannot use a dynamic control field within a dynamic control field as the [[Browser|browser]] will not render the fields appropriately.
When using a dynamic control field beneath a '''Title bar''' field the number of columns of the title bar must be set to 1.
==Notes==
{{NoEmbeddedDynamicFields}}  When using a dynamic control field beneath a '''<u>Allow Empty</u>Title bar'''field the number of columns of the title bar must be set to 1.
Because You can determine the values in fields to be displayed based on more than a Combo Box [[Custom Field]] single value. For example, if the field options are restricted to the semi-colon delimited list in the : '''ValuesSelect From List;Less than 100;Between 100 and 200;Greater than 300''' field, . You could set the '''Allow Empty''' value for a given field has a slightly different behaviour to display in more than usualone selection. It controls whether or not the record can be saved with Setting the default value (which is the first value listed in the to '''Values''' section):* If '''Allow EmptyLess than 100;Greater than 300''' is checked, would display the record '''can''' be saved with the default valuefield when either of these options was selected.
* If '''Allow Empty''' is '''not''' checked, the record '''cannot''' be saved with the default value. In this way you can force the user to select a value different from the default value.
:* '''Important:''' Because the record cannot be saved with the default value, the first item listed in the '''Value''' section should be either a space followed by a semi-colon (if you want the field to start out blank) or an instruction to the user such as ''-----Select One-----; Please choose;'' or similar. You do not want an actual value as the first item, since the record can never be saved with the first value if '''Allow Empty''' is deselected.
