Check if field is hidden using JavaScript

Forms Version 11

asked on February 24

I am trying to display a custom HTML field before other fields if they are revealed via field rules. The disclaimer only needs to appear once. The issue is if I apply this disclaimer on each of the field rules then I get an overlap of the field which causes issues revealing it on the form. Is there a way to verify if the field is shown so I can utilize that as a flag to display the disclaimer. An example of this is I want to show q92 if either q94 or q95 are shown.

Not sure if you are aware of this, but the nested condition field rule you are looking for is available in modern form:

If you prefer to keep using classic form, you may consider update the form like this:

Add one additonal single line field, and set it with formula =IF(PO_Routing="PURCHASING DEPARTMENT", "show", IF(Remove_Purchasing="PURCHASING DEPARTMENT", "show", "hide"))

Then update field rule to use this single line field as condition and remove the PO Routing and Remove Purchasing fields from condition.

If would be easier if you create a separated field rule to show/hide q92, with condition being the combination of the conditions for field rules on q94 and q95.

Can you show us your field rule settings?

I have more than just the two from the screen shot. What is currently happening is that since the disclaimer is repeated for each the most lowest rule on the list still hides the disclaimer since the logic returns false. What I'm looking for is something in this structure.

When Any

When All - Trigger 1 - Show disclaimer

When All - Trigger 2 - Show disclaimer

Thanks for the assistance. I have it working with some JavaScript for now. I'll try to switch the form over in the future.
