Trying to show field only if 'Other' is one of the options from a multi-select dropdown.

I have tried a bunch of options and I am just not sure what I am doing wrong. I have a dropdown called Accreditation which is set-up as a multi-select. If the user chooses any combination of options, if it includes the "Other" option, I want to then show the Other field. Hopefully, someone can tell me what I am missing.

$(document).ready(function () {

$("#accreditation").change(onAccreditation);

onAccreditation();

});

function onAccreditation() {

var varSelectedValues = $("#acceditation").val();

if (varSelectedValues && varSelectedValues.indexOf('Other') ! == -1) {

$('#accreditationother').parent().parent().show();

} else {

$('#accreditationother').parent().parent().hide();

}

};

Thanks for any help!

Hi @hfournier ,

It seems that there is a minor error in your code. You have inserted a space between "and" and "in" which is leading to a syntax error. Additionally, there is a mistake in the selector that is being used to fetch the values of the "accreditation" dropdown. You need to use "getElementById" instead of "getElementsByClassName". I have made the required corrections in the code for you.

$(document).ready(function () { $("#accreditation").change(onAccreditation); onAccreditation(); }); function onAccreditation() { var varSelectedValues = $("#accreditation").val(); if (varSelectedValues && varSelectedValues.indexOf('Other') !== -1) { $('#accreditationother').parent().parent().show(); } else { $('#accreditationother').parent().parent().hide(); } };

In addition to @Surendran_R comments, can you also print the value of the selected option?

I feel like that's the way to get the value of a single optionset but not multiple, please take a look at this code sample for manipulating multiple choices: Manipulating Choices (Multiselect OptionSet) via J... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
