# Option linkage

> Learn how to use option linkage in DingTalk OA Approval to dynamically show controls based on the value chosen in a Select or Multiselect field—for example, display different amount limit tips based on the reimbursement type—making approval forms smarter and more flexible.

## 1. Detailed instructions

For example, in a reimbursement approval, when a different reimbursement type is selected, the reimbursement amount field should display tip text indicating the amount limit for that type. Transportation has a maximum reimbursement of 200 CNY, meals 400 CNY, and office supplies 100 CNY.

### 1) How to set it up

First, configure the reimbursement type Select field with three options: Transportation, Meals, and Office Supplies.

Next, set up the fields to be linked—that is, the amount fields shown for each reimbursement type—and configure the tip text. Edit the Title, tip text, and other properties in the panel on the right.
