What Does "Leave Alone" in Visible in UI Policy mean?

[pia9388]

Trying to create some UI Policies and don't know the difference of the 3 options for visible: True; False; Leave Alone.

Hi Per,

True: Displays the field

False: Hides the field (as long as its not mandatory!)

Leave Alone: Does not change anything about the visibility of the field (useful if different UI Policies can affect different properties of the field)

I have a client script onLoad to control display of a field based on GlideAJAX condition.
Also, there is a UI Policy controlling the 'Mandatory' feature of the same field, but Visible property is 'Leave Alone'.
Still, the setDisplay(True/False) doesn't have required affect.
So, does the UI Policy overwrite the client script even if selected 'Leave Alone'?

leave alone means do nothing based on the conditions

Leave alone literally means leave alone-> no action for this particular operation.
