Is there any way to show/hide UI action conditionally based on client side selected choices?
I have a catalog item where I have a select box variable "Edit fields" with three choices and show 'none' is selected.
I would like to dynamically display the UI Action "Submit Edits" only if the user selects choice 1, 2 or 3 on the "Edit Fields" variable. If the value is none then ui action is hidden.
This is client side and needs to be onChange() so when the user selects a choice (record will not yet be saved) I want to then display the "Submit Edits" UI Action else it should be hidden.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Erik,
Word of caution from the "old man". UI actions were not intended to be dynamically visible from a client script. Doing so carries risk of the script not working in future releases.

Thanks everyone.... not sure what to do here in terms of marking correct answer. Do I mark based on technical answer that works, or do I mark based off of best answer where I do not shoot myself in the foot?
Thank you harshvardhansingh for your solution! It works.
However, based on ctomasi advice, I will re-design my solution and remove the requirement of showing and hiding UI Actions dynamically - future proof myself as well as better support for mobile.
