Question

Conditional attributes in generic object

2

I'm trying to conditionally show an attribute depending on a dropdown value. But this dropdown is not bound to an enumeration but to a generic object. How can I ever use conditional formatting to show an attribute based upon an object instead of an enumeration. So if you select fuel in the dropdown i've to show a an attribute amount of liters. In all other options I don't have to show this attribute. How can I achieve this?

You can achieve this by adding boolean or enumeration attributes on the generic object entity or the entity on your form. By editing the generic object (or other entity), the user has to set a second value which is the boolean or enumeration attribute. You're able to use conditional formatting in your form by using the settings or setting the attributes in an OnChange microflow.

However, it's still a workaround and your issue is a trade-off between generic functionality / less possibilities and "hard-coded" functionality / more possibilities.
