Best Practice: Filtered Drop Down (FM 8.5)

[loopymonkey]

Hello, I have a drop down menu that lists way too many items right now and I want to limit those values listed based on another value in the table.

The values in the dropdown are NAMES of projects from my table PROJECTS.

In my projects table there is a value of Open or Closed when a project is complete.

I would like my drop down to ONLY show projects that are currently open.

It's a little unclear to me how to get that done.

Any leads help appreciated!

Search for "conditional value lists" or "related value lists."

Base the value list on a calculation field.

Case ( completed = "Open" ; name )
