UI formatter showing/hiding on the form based on a choice field and make it mandatory.

[shruthi29]

Hi all,

I have a requirement where I have a drop down field, and based on the selection of the choices, I need to make a UI formatter visible/hide on the change request form.(if choice is 'Yes', then show the UI formatter and make it mandatory, if 'No' then hide it.).

Is it possible to achieve this? If yes, kindly share your ideas with me. Any help is high appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Shruthi

Did you try using onChange client script? You can use setVisible and give formatter name ...

Yes, I have tried. But it does not work.

UI formatter in not a field so setVisible or setDisplay method will not work.

You will have to try out DOM level manupulation.

You can use the $ selector to element ID and hide it using DOM methods when particular condition is met.

You can check below link for sample example
