UI Policy Order Conflict: Variable Visibility Issue in Record Producer

[adunay]

Hi all!  

I'm working with a record producer and I've run into a conflict on the form.  My record producer has three total variables:

1. A select box with two options
2. A single line text variable - Set to Hidden
3. A multi line text variable - Set to Hidden

I have two Catalog UI policies set up as follows:

• Select Option one - Single line text variable becomes visible
• Select Option two - Both the single line and multi line variables become visible

I'm having the following issue on the form:

1. Select Option one - Single line text variable becomes visible
2. Select Option two - Both variables become visible
3. Select Option one again - no variable is visible
4. Select Option two - Both variables become visible

I am unable to get the single line text variable to become visible again after selecting option two.  I think this may have something to do with the orders applied to the variables in the Catalog UI Policies, but everything I've tried doesn't seem to fix it. 

Any thoughts on how I can get this to function correctly without duplicating a bunch of variables?  Thanks!

Hi @adunay,

Sometime working with multiple UI Policies can be 'fun' shall we say, especially on a Friday afternoon ; )

Whilst the order comes into play, my bet would be that the checkbox labelled 'Reverse if false' which is checked and set to true by default (meaning it will run) is the main factor in play.

This flag (as described on the UI Policy form) reverses the effects of the UI policy actions when the Conditions evaluate to false.

As both UI Policies probably have this checked, that's where the issue arises.

The 'Reverse if false' in visible with other fields in the 'Advanced view'

My first thought would be to inactivate (turn off) one of the UI polices and simply use the 'Reverse if false' to help implement your desired UI.

I would also control the visibility via the 'Scripting' via the 'Script' table and 'Run scripts' checkbox.

Hello @adunay 

To meet this requirement, you can create a single UI policy with the following configuration:

UI policy configuration:

Catalog UI Policy Actions:

Result:

When option1 is selected: Only single line text variable is visible.

When option2 is selected: Both single line and multiline text variable is visible.

Hope this helps!
