How to hide a field with UI action

gunishi · ‎01-30-2024

Hi there,

I have a UI action for a button and upon pressing this button I am going to make a field visible (this will be call Cancel Reason).

How would I make sure field is hidden before this? Would I need to use a separate UI policy/action to hide the field? And how would this work with the button that then reveals it?

Many thanks 🙂

Hello @gunishi ,

Establish a UI Policy, set its conditions, and, within the dictionary record, locate the "UI Policy" field. Choose the created UI policy from the dropdown to specify which field you wish to hide.
Include the following script in your UI Action:

gsftSubmit(null, g_form.getFormElement(), 'your_policy_name');

Please Mark ✅Correct if this solves your query and also mark 👍Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks,

Pratiksha

Hi @gunishi

UI policy is the good option for this.

Untick this

Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG

Will this override the UI action to make the button visible though if it is onload? The button makes the field permanently visible (as per requirments) so I need to make sure it is hidden only before this.

Thanks,

Hi @gunishi

Will this override the UI action to make the button visible though if it is onload --> I guess NO. But give a try mate and share feedback

Hi @gunishi

We can do it using UI policy, not good option to use UI action to hide /show the field.
