Is it possible to control Enum values displayed on object based on Attribute value on Context?

[SL_10932999]

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 13.1 and Datecode with CPS 13.1.0.1

Is it possible to show different list of values for selection for an attribute based on a value of attribute on the context. For example : In context , A attribute called 'Confidential' with Enum of 3 values "Yes, No, Partial'. In Part, I have an attribute called 'Preferred delivery' with Enum value - Electronic, Notification, Paper, Package.

When I create a part, if Confidential=Yes on context, then the list of values for 'Preferred delivery' should only be 'Electronic', 'Notification'. If confidential=No, then then the list of values for Preferred Delivery' should only be 'Notification', 'Paper'. If Confidential=Partial, then the list of values for 'Preferred delivery' should be all enum values.

Is this possible to achieve?

I have cross checked the same with PTC & got confirmation that cascading is possible only with attributes on the same object. We cannot create cascading between attribute existing in Container with attributes existing in Part which is available in the container and we do not have any OOTB functionality directly to achieve that. We followed below step to achieve this:
1. Create a attribute A on the Part type & with OIR set the value of the attribute same as value from Container attribute (using custom business algorithm) and make it immutable. Add attribute A to create layout of Part type.

2. Create cascading between attribute A and other attributes needed for cascading.

So, in a way with as per value available in Container attribute, we can control list of values available for selection in Part object.
