Hello there,

I hope you are doing well,

 

I am trying to change the color text of one item in a drop-down menu list to grey, (after selecting)

 

I used this code, but it did not work

event.target.textColor = (this.getField("best_time_to_call").valueAsString=="Please select") ? color.grey: color.transparent;

Thank you

Then use this:

Be aware this will change the color of all the items in the drop-down, though. It's not possible to change the color of just one.

Run the script as a Custom Format Script like this:

 

 

(event.value !== "Please select") ? f.textColor = color.black : f.textColor = color.gray;
