Best Practices for Visible property

Posted on by crjwarre

I have a best practice question: Currently working code for visibility is based on a SharePoint Choice Field for approximately 60 different fields. These fields are all columns in an SPL and typically have a beginning, end, and result column. All of these are governed by a Ctrl + C, Ctrl +V, of code like this

If(DataCardValue24.Selected.Value = "abc"
|| DataCardValue24.Selected.Value = "123"
,true,false)

There can be quite a few options in the list. Having to update this in 4-5 places (Edit and Detail Screens) takes a bit of effort, would something like this work or be more efficient?

If(DataCardValue24.Selected.Value = "abc"
|| DataCardValue24.Selected.Value = "123"
,
UpdateContext({ShowSection: true}), UpdateContext({ShowSection: false})

My main concern would be that the form is able to update as quickly as it currently does on change without the Context variable. I believe this would cut down on having to add 2 additional lines of code if I wanted to add "xzy" to the Choice Field. Thank you!

Hi @crjwarre ,

try Switch case in onChange property of the Format field and update a local variable with
UpdateContext({ShowSection: true}
Ex:
Switch( DataCardValue24.Selected.Value, "abc", UpdateContext({variable:tue}), "123", UpdateContext({variable:tue}), UpdateContext({variable:false}))// this will get exicute only if the value is none of them
This will improve the performance of the app.

I hope this resolved your issue if you see any challenge/need further help please let me know I am always happy to do it for my community.
