Enable submit if a form with mandatory fields is hidden from view

Posted on by SophRow

Hi,

I'm developing a simple form with a Sharepoint List as the data source. Each of the highlighted questions below will show a form associated with the relevant Qs on the 2nd screen if "Yes" is selected. If it's "No" the linked form will be hidden.

First screen:

Second screen:

Most of the fields are mandatory so I have set the Submit button up to be disabled unless all required fields are complete using:

If(
(Form2_4.Valid) &&
(Form2_3.Valid) &&
(Form2_2.Valid) &&
(Form2.Valid),
DisplayMode.Edit,
DisplayMode.Disabled
)

However, if any of the forms above are hidden based on the screen 1 selections how do i bypass the need for that form to be "Valid"?

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Best,

Soph

Hi @SophRow,

You could check whether the toggle value if false or whether the form is valid, if either is true you check the next toggle or form and so on... Important to remember is that you will also have to apply similar logic to the SubmitForm function (only patch the Forms that are visible and filled in).

If( //Adjust DataCardValue.. to the toggle linked to that form (!dataCardValue1.Value || Form2_4.Valid) && (!dataCardValue2.Value || Form2_3.Valid) && (!dataCardValue3.Value || Form2_2.Valid) && (!dataCardValue4.Value || Form2.Valid), DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled )

Alternatively, you could reference the Form's visible property directly instead of using the toggles (same logic):

If( (!Form2_4.Visible || Form2_4.Valid) && (!Form2_3.Visible || Form2_3.Valid) && (!Form2_2.Visible || Form2_2.Valid) && (!Form2.Visible || Form2.Valid), DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled )

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.

Thanks!
