Hi guys, I am creating an application that has text field but it was hidden until met certain condition. What I want to do is, if its not visible (the text field) I can submit the form as usual to data source, but if the text field is visible, then it will be a required field and user cannot submit the form until that field is fill up. Any suggestion to achieve this? Thank you.

p/s: I have use this formula but no luck. Even if the field is not visible, I'm still cannot submit it because it become disabled.

DisplayMode: If(And(!IsBlank(TextInput5.Text)),DisplayMode.Edit,DisplayMode.Disabled)

Hi,

Instead of DisplayMode, why don't you change the Visible setting?

Visible: !IsBlank(TextInput5.Text)

The same would apply for Required :

Required: !IsBlank(TextInput5.Text)

Could you try this and let me know how you get on?

Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestion I tried it, but when it visible, I want my submit button to be disabled until the visible textfield is filled up and when it filled then I can click on the submit button.

Ok, well that's also do-able - although having the conditional Required flag on the Datacard for TextInput5 will mean that you can't submit it without filling it in...

So to have your Submit button be disabled until that TextInput5 is filled, set its Displaymode Property:

DisplayMode: If( Len( TextInput5.Text)>0, DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled)

This checks if there's anything in the TextInput5, if yes then Submit button enabled, otherwise its disabled - if you want it to be disabled until they've typed a certain number of characters, then change the >0 to something else like >4

I've attached a POC for this, hopefully you find it useful 🙂

Thank you. That's work for disabling the submit button, but if the TextInput5 is not visible then I'm stuck with the button that has been disabled. I cant use Required since the field is not required. It's only become required when it's visible. If it's not visible then it's not required to be filled up.

Ok, not a problem, so we change the logic of it to only be disabled when it's visible & empty?

If(
//If Its visible, but not filled, then disable the button
TextInput5.Visible && Len(TextInput5.Text)=0, DisplayMode.Disabled,
//If Its visible, and filled, then enable the button TextInput5.Visible && Len(TextInput5.Text)>0, DisplayMode.Edit,
//If Its not visible, then enable the button DisplayMode.Edit
)

Please take a look at revised POC and adapt to your needs,

Cheers,
