Solved: valid_if problem

bolognesiedalla · 08-05-2022 02:33 AM

Hello everybody. I'm used to filtering values using the valid_if field. In this case I would like the [TERRENI] column to show the values based on the value selected in the [CLIENTE] column. this is the compilation of the [LANDS] column

my problem is that if a customer does not have TERRENI yet, the [TERRENI] column does not appear, but this is a mandatory data. in this case "Bolognesi Piero" already has some lands created. While "MODELLI" has no land created in the registry

not [TERRENI] created yed

In addition, some fields of the following tab (COLTURE - INTERVENTI) have compilation formulas that depend on the selected [LAND] value.

1.How can I prevent the user from filling out the rest of the form before having selected the [TERRENI] column?

2. how can i prevent the land field from disappearing from the form? Ideally it would be left with the empty dropdown choice where you can click the "add" action directly from here

I hope I was clear. thank you

You could include show_if in the Page Header show columns of COLTURE and INTERVENTI tabs as follows

ISNOTBLANK([TERRENI] )

This show_if will prevent the tabs COLTURE and INTERVENTI being shown till the user selects at least one value in [TERRENI] field.

The add on choice will show if the enum/enumlist field is not composed of values by Valid_if expression. Since you are using Valid_if in the field [Terreni], the field will not show, if the selected customer does not have land in lands table.

I believe there are no straightforward workarounds to get what you are looking for in this case.
