I have a question about the use of the following "filtered generic field" option for using a popup list to select the value of a text field:
I'm trying to understand what advantage or use this method offers. Maybe it's that you can select from multiple values that match a particular value in the filter list? For example, using the example above, say there are multiple items where the value for the "ActionOnList" field is "A". Then when choosing a value for the text field, the pop up value would present all the Item field values for any of the items that have the value "A" in the ActionOnList field.
I guess this would enable me to define popup lists from values in generic fields, simply by adding values to the Filter list field (e.g. ActionOnList) for those items. In this case maybe it is contemplated that the "ActionOnList" would be a Yes/No field? So that if it is checked, then the Item value would appear in the popup list?
Is this the reason for using a "filtered generic field" for the popup list, rather than a dedicated field? I might be missing the boat.
