Conditional Fields on a Form (with Hide Condition)

[Stan]

Hi All,

I have a Form with multiple fields.  Field 3 is conditional (does not display initially as Hide Condition is set). When user completes field 2 (lookup button to browse) it may set the variable to stop the Hide Condition, which works fine. The problem is the cursor jumps to field 4 (skips conditional field 3 even when field 2 sets it to display). You can easily click on field 3 and everything works fine, just a pain.

It's not a big problem but we have had 4 or 5 user complain. How do I get it to move from field to field 3 when needed?

Cheers,
Stan

Stan, are the fields being hidden or displayed just on the state of one of the other fields, or do you have server code behind them that does something?

Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

When Form opens I have a variable that is TRUE (hides 3rd field). In "3 Value Routine" of the previous field (field 2) it may get set to FALSE (don't hide). This works (the field now shows) but cursor jumps to field after (field 4), not the newly unhidden 3rd field. If the hidden fields gets displayed I (and even more, the users <g>) would like the cursor to be there. Hope this makes sense.

Cheers,
Stan

Hi Stan,

When you write your memoirs remember me ok? I've added this feature to version 4.31, PR 14. There's nothing you need to do on your side it's automatic.

Since I haven't released PR14 yet, I'm attaching an update WEB folder (as a zip) to this post. If you use PR12, or PR13 with this Zip it should work like magic.

Cheers
Bruce

Bruce,

Thanks!  I am running 4.30 (just upgraded from 4.24 a few weeks back). Any idea when 4.31 will go gold (October?)?

Cheers,
Stan

Hi Stan,

I don't have a fixed date in mind, but it'll be probably Sept or Oct.
I'm trying to get to a gold release as soon as possible.

Cheers
Bruce
