hiding fields with condition in submission form

[haxx0r]

Hi, i wanted to hide a section/field inside my submission DataPage, but upon trying on using Rules, it seems that the data is not submitted. Is there any way I can do this?

You can do this using CSS custom code. In Submission Forms and details pages you can hide multiple fields by surrounding them with HTML table tags and setting the table’s display style to “none”. but to use this with condition, you may follow this step:

first create a HTML block and use this code below:

<style>
  [data-css="value_of_your_parameter_or_field"] {
    display: none;
  }
</style>
<table data-css="[@name_of_your_parameter_or_field]">

and on your second HTML Block

</table>

make sure that you place the fields that you wanted to hide between the two HTML tags.

You could also check this Forum post: 

For Rules, see this article for Action Limitations to see the fields that cannot be used.

I hope this helps

Did this answer your question?  Not sure it does.  Im facing same issue.  Never suspected a conditional rule to Hide Field actually omit data from the table.  For mine, I have some radio buttons with a default "No" value.  However, that field can be hidden based on another condition rule. But I still want that default No value for it to appear in data table.  Instead I get blanks.  They should rename Hide field to Hide field/Omit Data.

Would love to prevent this.

Hi there, I wanted to share this workflow that might help anyone out. The logic here is just vice-versa, when a field is not checked then hide the field. 

Then if it is checked, the field will appear.

Hello. I found these forum posts that also hide fields based on a condition.
