Dear experts,

 

I tried to hide a form section but it did not went well, may I know why. I followed a solution accepted post, but it still not working on my side. I tried to hide the tab 'Applicability and Categorisation' but it did not hide for some reason. Please advise.  I tried changing the code name from upper case, lower case and even added _ to it but all is not working for now.

function onLoad() {
    var appliesTo = g_form.getValue('applies_to');  
    var engagementValue = 'engagement';  // replace with actual value stored in applies_to

    if (appliesTo === engagementValue) {
        g_form.setSectionDisplay('applicability_and_categorisation', false);  // hide section
    } else {
        g_form.setSectionDisplay('applicability_and_categorisation', true);   // show section
    }
}

@ChuanYanF 

are you sure you are comparing the correct value in the IF?

what type of field is applies_to

try adding alert and see

function onLoad() {
    var appliesTo = g_form.getValue('applies_to');
    var engagementValue = 'engagement'; // replace with actual value stored in applies_to
    alert(appliesTo);
    if (appliesTo === engagementValue) {
        g_form.setSectionDisplay('applicability_and_categorisation', false); // hide section
    } else {
        g_form.setSectionDisplay('applicability_and_categorisation', true); // show section
    }
}

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
