How do you hide the checklist formatter?

[akaupisch]

I have a checklist on a task that I only want to display if it's assigned to a certain group. Because formatters aren't typical items, you can't just use g_form.setDisplay...so I tried:

document.getElementById('inlineChecklistApp').style.display = "none";

...but that has no effect. Anyone know how to dynamically show/hide the checklist?

As part 2 of that question, is there a way to disable the Save / Create Template options on the formatter for end users that i don't want to add/create things?

Hi Adam,

You can hide,show form section by using below code

But,i am not sure about checklist formatter.

wrapping it in a section then hiding that section technically works, but the UI looks bad...any other thoughts?

This works on my personal instance (Helsinki) - jQuery('.checklist_section.ng-scope').hide();

Hi Adam,

For checking, if the current logged in user is member of assignment group, you can use Display Business Rule :

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) {
   g_scratchpad.checklistVisibility = false;

   if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(current.getDisplayValue('assignment_group')))
             g_scratchpad.checklistVisibility = true;

})(current, previous);

and in onLoad client script, you can use below script to hide checklist :

if(!g_scratchpad.checklistVisibility) 
   //jQuery('#inlineChecklistApp').hide();
document.getElementById('inlineChecklistApp').style.display = "none";
