How do I hide/show a tab within a form section based on another field?

[Kevin Recio1]

On our change form, we are adding a tab specifically for application type change requests (as opposed to our infrastructure changes). We would like to have this tab be hidden unless someone chooses "Application" in the 'Class' field:

I tried using the instructions from this blog post, but the Application tab is still showing no matter what is chosen in the Class field. Below is the script I have:

Pasted as text:

[To show the tab when "Application" is chosen]

function onCondition() {

g_form.setSectionDisplay('application', false);

//Show the section
var section = $$('span[tab_caption_raw="Application"]')[0].select('span[id*=section.]')[0];
section.show();
//Show the tab
$$('.tab_caption_text').each(function(caption) {
if(caption.innerHTML == 'Application'){
caption.up('.tab_header').show();
}
});}

[To hide the tab when "Application" is not chosen]

function onCondition() {

g_form.setSectionDisplay('application', false);

//Hide the section
var section = $$('span[tab_caption_raw="Application"]')[0].select('span[id*=section.]')[0];
section.hide();
//Hide the tab
$$('.tab_caption_text').each(function(caption) {
if(caption.innerHTML == 'Application'){
caption.up('.tab_header').hide();
}
});

}

Hello Vinod , 

In above scrip which application is referring to class value "Application and the Tab Name "Application" 

g_form.setSectionDisplay('application', false); ---> Is this the class field choice value or the Tab name 

same for below two 

var section = $$('span[tab_caption_raw="Application"]')[0].select('span[id*=section.]')[0]; 

if (caption.innerHTML == 'Application'

Thanks in advance.

Tab names.

g_form.setSectionDisplay takes the tab names.

To get section names on a form use

var sections = g_form.getSectionNames();

console.log(sections.toString());

[vkachineni]

See if the section names are correct

Add the code in both true/false

get a list

var sections = g_form.getSectionNames();

alert(sections.toString());

//Tested this on PDI

if category is hardware do not show tab conflicts

function onCondition() {
g_form.setSectionDisplay('conflicts', false); //or true depending on the condition should work
}

Thank you for your response vkachineni. Are you saying I should try using these scripts? Sorry I'm not sure what you exactly mean here. If you could provide some clarification, that would be helpful - as you can see I'm not very experienced with this stuff.

I have tested this code on incident

if category is hardware do not show tab conflicts

function onCondition() {
g_form.setSectionDisplay('conflicts', false); //or true depending on the condition should work
}
