Hiding Fields
Hi Guys/Gals
I am currently working on a custom record form. I have a number of fields that I need to be able to hide when a certain value is selected from a drop down.
I have seen the following snippet of code on the forums already:
form.getField('custbody_optional_field').setDisplayType('hidden') But form is always undefined, even though i am passing the default form parameters into the function.
My code is currently running from the field change function.
My only alternative is to have a number of preset form layouts with the correct fields hidden/shown, and change this when the value is selected, the only problem is that I need some values passing from the original form to the new form, and whenever I change the form it looses all the original values.
