CRM 2011 set picklsit value based on other picklist value

Question

Hi all:

I have 2 picklists, call them plA and plB. Both have 15 values, but the text is different between the 2, the first has a name, the 2nd a longer description. So if the user selects option 4 from plA, I need plB to be set to option 4 as well. I have tried the following code, but the alert I got is "Object[object]"

var plA = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_plA").getSelectedOption();
alert(plA.value);

I was hoping to do something as simple as:

var plA = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_plA").getSelectedOption().value;
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_plB").setSelectedOption(plA);

Can anyone give me any advice as to how I cna do this?

Thanks!

John.

Hi,

You can refer the following blog posts to generate dependent pickists code instead of writting:

Thanks for the links, I modified Simon's code and got this working. However 3 of the fields I need to update are part of the header, and I am getting a "null" error in the JScript. I read somehow that fields in the header are separate from the form and thus not accessible via the OnChange JScript from a field on the main form. But I cannot believe that is true??
