I use a combination of Look Up Rules and Field Rules on a Form. I have the look up populating certain fields that I want to be hidden from the user. However, since our upgrade to 9.2 I can no longer use the hidden fields to populate other fields.
I have a table showing every inventory product available. A series of drop down boxes limits what the user sees (division limits category choices, category limits product choices). Certain items like pants or shirts also need additional fields like gender and size to show but certain items like handcuffs or flashlights only need the quantity field to show.
I had this accomplished by have a “show” choice in the database. For example, on flashlight, “show size” would be null but for Cargo Pants, “show size” would be Yes. I have matching fields on the form that are being populated by a look up. Then I have field rules to only show the Size field if the Show Size field is not blank.
I want all the “Show” fields hidden from the user.
However, when I use a CSS class to hide the fields, my look up rules to populate Gender and Size no longer work. In the screenshot below I hide the “show gender” field. Now my “gender” field will not show up to give them a choice.
