Conditional Styles
Conditional styling allows to show/hide, disable, make required or clear form components conditionally. Conditional styling can be applied to various form components:
- Data Source object fields
- Virtual fields
- Section/Page
- Custom Button
- Blank Space
- Custom URL
- Nested Form
- Static Text
- File
- Image
- Related Lists and Lists
Note: when conditional styles are applied to the Section/Page component, they will be applied to all items inside the section.
Select component "Section" on the canvas. Click "Add New" button in the "Conditional Styles" section of the component properties sidebar:
On Conditional Settings popup choose action type and click "Add" button in Conditions:
See details on using conditions at Working with Conditions article.
Conditions are:
- hide - item will not be displayed
- show - item will be displayed (and, will be hidden by default when conditions do not matched)
- disable - item will be displayed in disabled mode
- clear - item inputs will be cleared
- required - item will become required to be filled in (available for input items only)
