Show / hide field based on condition

[Crispin_Giles]

Hey all

I have a table where I have many hidden fields. I want to have a field only visible if a certain condition is true. Is there some kind of IF statement functionality that can conditionally toggle between showing/hiding the field if certain conditions are true?

Thanks

Welcome to the community, @Crispin_Giles!

Conditional hiding & showing of fields is only possible on a form, and then when the user submits that form, a new record will be created in your table.

Otherwise, if you’re not looking to create new records via a form, you would need to manually create different views where each view would be manually set by you to have its own set of hidden fields. And then you would manually need to switch back & forth between those views to see the set of fields that are on each view.

Hope this helps! If this answers your question, could you please mark this comment as the solution to your question? This will help other people who have a similar question. If not, please let me know what else you need help with! :slightly_smiling_face:

hey this is MAJORLY needed to look at: major feature issue for not only share view but also interface designer!!!

you need to allow for the feature show only "current user" to be applicable to fields and or views. 

e.g. if i add a grid to an interface:
option1: show only view assigned to current viewer (best option)
option2: show only records by current viewer AND show only FIELDs for current user 

two ways to get the same thing. option one can mean only 1 time assign a user to a view -- OK --- or offer gird view options available to current user. best option: control permissions of which views (that the current user can see) you want available to that current user in that specific interface element)

you basically have the feature (see pics) but you did it for edit record permissions, specific filters. just make this for VIEWING permissions, by a view, with control on selected total views available in element.

With Kanban behaviors like collapsing there are controllers for field configuration, And filter conditions in the UI interface that hide columns in other views like grids.  How is the feature missing for Kanban views? 

This would be a huge help to our organization to avoid duplication of tickets for tracking of tasks that go through a long pipeline process (40-60 stages).  We have clear disciplines working on only a section of the process.  Complexity of ticket field population.  And encourage multiple disciplines beyond production to utilize Airtable. 

Our options are to either use multiple grouping fields for small view kanbans which cause a lot of empty fields and ticket entry complexity. Or duplication of tickets, where notes and history are lost for fast review.
