Hide fields in user table using client script

[Govind Bysani]

In my user table, I have created a section called 'Additional details', In that section I have 5 fields in it, I need to hide 2 of those 5 fields using client script. Can anyone help me on this.

Hi @Govind Bysani ,

To conditionally hide fields in a form, choose the appropriate client script type (e.g., onload, onchange) and use the g_form.setDisplay('field_name', false) method within the script. This allows you to customize field visibility based on your specific requirements.

Please let me know if this helps! You can mark this answer as "Correct" if it resolves your issue, and "Helpful" if you find it valuable.

Thanks,

@Govind Bysani 

setDisplay(String fieldName, Boolean display)

Displays or hides a field.

This method cannot hide a mandatory field with no value. If the field is hidden, the space is used to display other items. Whenever possible, use a UI policy instead of this method.

Here is an example 

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
   //If the page isn't loading
   if (!isLoading) {
      //If the new value isn't blank
      if (newValue != '') {
         g_form.setDisplay('priority', false);   
      }
      else 
         g_form.setDisplay('priority', true);
      }
   }

Hope this helps.

Hi @Govind Bysani ,

You can create one onload , onchange client scripts on this user table like shown in below.

table : sys_user

condition based you want hide and show?

for example I am providing the condition as while onchange on checkbox, script. You can hide the fields according to the checkbox value is true/false those fields can be shown,

script:

var a = g_form.getValue('u_checkbox_test');

    if (a == 'false') {

        g_form.setDisplay('u_field_1', false);

        g_form.setDisplay('u_field_2', false);

    } else {

        g_form.setDisplay('u_field_1', true);

        g_form.setDisplay('u_field_2', true);

    }

Usage of script in two client scripts giving in images:

If it is helpful please make it correct/helpful.

Thanks and Regards,
