Hi,

Please try below onChange client script on Category field

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (newValue === '') {
        g_form.setDisplay('subcategory', false);
        g_form.clearValue('subcategory');
        return;
    }
    g_form.setDisplay('subcategory', true);

}

Hi Aparna,

It might be worth to give a try to UI policies.

You can set a ui policy triggered when category is not empty, that will have an associated ui policy action to set the subcategory field visible (and possibly mandatory).

If you check the flag "reverse if false" it will hide automatically the subcategory field. I consider this easier to implement and to maintain compared with the client script.

Give it a try!! Hope it helps!

Hi Cruz

What to do if we don't  want sub category field to display if the selected category value has no dependent options in subcategory?
