Script to expand dropdown

Question

Hi. I'm looking for help with a script to expand a dropdrown to show all options when the value of another cell is greater than 0. Can someone help with this? Thanksvar comp = this.getField("text").value;
var ins = this.getField("dropdown").value;

if(comp > 0 && ins == "--"){
  event.target.fillColor = color.red;
  // enter code to expand dropdown here
}
else{
  event.target.fillColor = color.transparent;
}

Change your Dropdown calculation script to this:

var comp = this.getField("text").value;
var ins = event.value;

if(comp > 0 && ins == "--"){
event.target.fillColor = color.red;
// enter code to expand dropdown here
}
else{
event.target.fillColor = color.transparent;
}

A dropdown can only be expanded by clicking the arrow with the mouse.  You could pop up an alert showing all the options.  If you want to show all options probably use a list box.
