I am trying to present few questionnaires when a category is selected.

I am trying to create a record producer with a few questions. One of the questions involves selecting a category (I’ve already created a category list in the table), and I’m using a lookup to display it on the form. Based on the selected category, I need to present a set of related questions.

Example:

Category options:

  • Car
  • Color
  • Bills

If “Car” is selected as the category, the following questions should appear:

  • What is the car model?
  • What is the car color?
  • What is the purchase date?

I’m working on a Catalog UI Policy to control the behavior after creating the questions, but I’ve found that the behavior is not consistent. Is there a better way to implement this?

A Catalog UI Policy is the recommended method for making fields or variables visible, read only and/or mandatory.  Under what testing conditions/steps are you seeing inconsistent behaviour? Post some screenshots of how you have this configured and we'll get it sorted.

I am able to reproduce the inconsistency behavior, and I hope this shade some light.

here is my UI policy for a specific category called:

Here is a Try it screenshot where it shows hidden variable based on the UI Policy:

runfast_1-1757966237766.png

But if a refresh it few times it shows the correct variable "Property Name". 

Here is the variable setup for Amount:

The "amount" variable also seats on another UI Policy with "show/visible" where we need it be visible under a different category.

Any guidance or direction greatly appreciated.

Hi Brad - Thanks for confirming this for me. I will go back and double check my UI Policies setup's and I will come back and post some screen shots if I still see an issue.
