Hi everyone,

I have a scenario in Airtable where I want to dynamically control the visibility of form fields based on boolean values from another table. I’m proficient in Python, SQL, and JavaScript/Vue3.js, but I'm struggling to implement this logic directly within Airtable's environment.

I want to use these boolean values from the Analysis table to control the visibility of form fields in the Application table. The challenge is that Airtable forms seem to be bound to a single record and don't directly allow dynamic visibility control across tables.

Can I use JavaScript or Airtable scripting to dynamically control field visibility in a form based on boolean values from a linked table (Analysis)?
Alternatively, would it be easier to restructure the process by splitting the form into multiple steps (e.g., first upload the PDF, then show the relevant fields based on boolean values in the next form)?
Any help, pointers, or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Nima Frenkline

Hello @nima30frenkline,
There is no specific way to dynamically control the visibility of Airtable form fields-based programming way.

There are times when you may want to limit which form fields appear based on certain conditions. Read more here Customizing form fields

You can also check for external form builder fillout which has direct integration with Airtable.

In Fillout there are supports of multi-step forms and Generate PDFs with form responses.

I hope this helps you.
