Let us know how we can make Jedox even better!
Current limitation:
In the current spreadsheet setup, all units are available in the unit dropdown - regardless of the activity in the row. For example, for “Natural gas”, users can currently select irrelevant units such as litres, nights, or meters.
Desired behavior:
The selectable units in the dropdown should be restricted based on the activity (row context).
Example:
For the activity “Natural gas”, only the following units should be selectable:
Tonnes (t)
Kilowatt hours (kWh)
Cubic metres (m³)
All other units (e.g., litres, metres, nights, etc.) should be hidden from the dropdown.
Context / Problem:
Even though a data filter (dfilter) is already applied, the unit dropdown still displays all available units (as visible in the screenshot), which:
Increases the risk of incorrect data entry
Reduces usability and clarity for end users
Requires additional validation steps
Value / Benefit:
Improved data quality (less incorrect unit selection)
Better user experience (clean, context-relevant options only)
Reduced need for validation logic downstream
Suggested solution:
Enable row-dependent filtering of dropdown values in Dynatables, so that unit selections can be dynamically restricted based on row attributes (e.g., activity type).
