You dont need multiple recordtypes for this
You will have to create Page layouts on opp, remove the fields that you dont want then use the page layout assignment button to change the Profile Specific page layout to the new one for the required profiles.

Then you can create Recordtypes in your opp object. Do the pagelayout assignment(dont think you will need multiple page layouts).Then go to profiles and only give access to the required recordtype only(this will make sure recordtype selection page doesnt kicks in)

Hi,

 

I will explain little bit more.

 

I have picklist field in Opportunity Product

for eg: Status

 

having pickllist values like :

 

Not Started

Started

Inprogress

completed.

 

Among above I need to hide Inprogress  value for paticulat profile. This can be done if there is record type in Opportunity product, but there is no option to create record type.

 

Then hw can we hide that picklist value .

 

Thanks,

Rajesh.

Ahh my mistake!
I was thinking of Opportunity!


Just realized its Opportunity Product

 

 

yes recordtypes are not available for Opp product. I can suggest you a workaround though. Since page layouts are available you can create few dummy Status fields , with limited picklist values according to profiles. Now create Pagealyouts for the profiles and instead of the original status field place these dummy fields in the layouts. This way you can limit the values based on the layouts + dummy field combo

 

In the backend write a workflow to copy the value from this field to the Original Status field!

Hi,

 

Thanks for sugesstion.

 

As u said to create two fields and one field is hide to other profiles in page layout.

 

I need to display field Status in vf pages..Based on profiles Inprogess should hide.

 

 

Thanks,

Rajesh.

What I understood from you r question is you need to display limited sets of Value based on profile.

 

So say Field Status has values ==> A,B,C,D,E.

 

  • For Profile "Profile 1" you want to display => A,B
  • For Profile "Profile 2" you want to display ==> C,D,E
  • For Profile "Profile 3" you want to display ==>A,B, C,D,E

Now create two fields with label "Status" and following api names

  • Profile1_Status__c with value ==> A,B
  • Profile2_Status__c with value ==> C,D,E

Create Two Page layouts with the following assignment

  • Profile 1 will see ==> Page layout 1 ==> Include the field Profile1_Status__c in this layout, hide the original status field
  • Profile 2 will see ==> Page layout 2 ==> Include the field Profile2_Status__c in this layout, hide the original status field
  • Profile 3 will see ==> Page layout 3 ==>include the original status field

Use a workflow to sync the values to original Status field.

 

In this way you will be able to display different values based on profiles

Hi,

 

Thanks for ur detail explanation.

 

what u said is right.But I am trying with single field Status i.e need to do some logic in extension so that based on profile it should be hide for other profiles.

 

with the help of <apex:select option > tag.

 

Please let me know if it can be done?

 


Thanks,

Rajesh.

Well I guess you can avoid the VF page. As you may have to hardcode the values in the controller

Hi,

 

My requirement is to display that picklist Status field in VF page.

 

for some profiles 'Inprogress' is to be hide and for other need to display in Status picklist field.

 

Thanks,

Rajesh.
