Enable/Disable a button on the form based on a condition

[irfanshaik]

Hi Team,

How can i disable a button on a form that i created using UI Action when one of the field's in a form has a certain value. For example - 

If i want to Disable the button "Email" if "Col1" (col1) has a value of 5 and have it enabled for any other value of "Col1", how can i achieve that.

Thanks.

Hi @irfanshaik 

You can just put in the condition field in the UI action.

current.getValue("col1") != 5

But remember this is not real time, once you have the value populated on the page load the decision will happen, not in real time ie the value of 5 should be present when the form loads.

Hi @irfanshaik 

Its not recommended since you will be going to DOM manipulation which is not best practice, but you can give it a go.
