My app’s URL: [https://go.glideapps.com/app/MrQuzOYcmn7FPH2oZApo](https://go.glideapps.com/app/MrQuzOYcmn7FPH2oZApo) I’d like to offer my users a choice between entering an address or using their current location. If selecting current location (in a form), I’d like the “enter address” field to disappear. No condition I use lets me accomplish this. What am I missing? ![Screenshot_8_3_20__9_23_PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/1/1b7be2233654a886312fd74e5aec1adda1b02fdf.png) ---

For my sanity, have you tried each condition separately or reworked with AND’s instead of OR’s? The way you have it right now with all 3 conditions and OR’s could bite you. ---

Yes…each was separate. I just wanted one screenshot so combined them all for the sake of this post 🙃 ---

Okay, experienced same issue when developing Uber Hire. Try this pls. 1. Show current location when address field is empty. And 2. Show address field when current location is empty. The only problem is once current location is populated the empty condition will no longer work. ---

It may not work for this use case, but I’ve had no issue with the visibility settings when I collect the choice prior to the form and pass it through as a column value to perform the visibility checks in the form. That is, I have a pre-form choice of use device or manual entry, then the form has visibility settings based on that choice. It’s working without issues this way. ---

Just is empty/is not empty? Probably would work—user specific column, right?
