Hello Gliders, I am wondering if there is a way to enable fields based on inputs to other fields. So for e.g. show field Color only if the entry in the Product field is Tshirt. Thanks much!

This presents new difficulties. I’m going to go ahead and say it’s not possible to do the yes/no lookups in add/edit mode. Potentially it might be possible in detail view when using entry fields, but the record would already need to be added at that point. I had already attempted something like t…

Are you talking about adding/editing records, or just viewing them? I don’t think you can control fields showing or hiding when adding/editing, but when viewing a record, column values that are empty will not display.

I was hoping to use such a feature for adding/editing records. Certain columns only apply to certain product types and it makes the layout really clunky to have all columns display for all products irrespective of whether they apply or not. Having a feature to enable/disable columns would be great.

This feature is now available in case you weren’t aware. [image] Conditional visibility of components usage question Bravo on this feature release @Mark . Saw the announcement in app but haven’t seen in mentioned in the forums yet. Quick question about implementation, i…

I am not sure how to use this. I only want the user to see items where the date (which is a column) is equal to today(). I can’t do this with the math column. I can’t do this in the google spreadsheet either since the formula would have to be copied into the new item row manually for every new item …

What are you trying to control, a list or other components? You can control a list using a filter with the Within operator. For your spreadsheet formula, you can auto populate rows using an arrayformula. https://docs.glideapps.com/all/guides/quick-starts/intermediate-techniques/calculating-columns …

Thankyou Jeff. The arrayformula worked for one of the issues I was having. The feature of controlling ‘visibility’ of components for existing items is awesome. But how would it work for adding new items?

Same way it works with existing items. Just add a condition to the component. [image] Conditional visibility of components usage question @mark Seems to be working in Add/Edit mode @yinon_raviv You can now add conditions to show or hide components based on other compo…

I’m certainly am missing something. Let me explain. I have the following 5 components in my sheet Location of employees 3 # of desks 4. # of machines 5. # of widgets For Location 1, I only want to show the components # of employees and # of desks For Location 2, I only want to show # of ma…

Can you create 2 of each employee, desk, machine and widget components? Then set conditions accordingly. Location 1 will show first employee and first desk components Location 2 will show first machine and first widget componets Location 3 will show second employee, second desk, second machine a…
