Hidden fields showing up

    Asked on August 18, 2019 at 6:04 PM

    I thought if I had a field marked as "hidden" it wouldn't show unless I had a rule that caused it to show.  Please look at the following:

    When you select any of the labs for entry, only those selected should show up.

    Also, the fasting insulin value disappears when you add in a number.


    Please advise.

    Hello, 

    Yes, when a field is hidden by default, it shouldn't show up unless a condition is set that commands otherwise. 

    Looking at the conditions set on your form, you could consider ignoring the conditions that hide those already hidden fields. I'd suggest that to reduce the complexity of the conditions, you could set only conditions that show already hidden fields. For example, Insulin Entry field is hidden by default, you can ignore conditions that would hide it and only set conditions that would show it since it would remain hidden by default until the SHOW condition is met. That way, things could get simpler and clearer. 


    I hope this helps.
