Workflow Best Practice Guidance

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:40PM in Ask A Guru 4 comments

Hey everyone,

I'm making a workflow to customize our tasks. We have a number of types of tasks such as requesting a new item or vendor to be added or for someone to build a transfer order.

I want to be able to hide and show certain fields if a certain task is selected, so if entering a new item it would ask for the vendor, the price and other info. If instead they select a new vendor task, it hides the new item fields and shows the new vendor fields such as name, email and other info.

I can currently achieve this by changing the field display type by triggering on After Field Edit and using the conditioning to check which value was selected. But with several different tasks and multiple fields for each, this one state is going to become very crowded, very quickly.
