Re: creating a rule to open an optional section

I've got lost in all the As and Bs.

So if I get it

Drop Down A opens Optional A
Drop Down B opens Optional B

On optional B, rule if Drop Down Value doesn't equal B, hide control.

You'll need a rule on each optional section. If you get one working you should be able to copy the rule and change the fields as required.

This works great for closing one of the optional sections but how can I get the an alternative optional section to then open?

For example, I have values A and B in my drop-down list, A being the default value. I have optional section A and optional section B, A defaulting to open. Optional sections A and B, should display where their respective A and B values from the drop-down list is selected.

Your rule helps me hide optional section A when B is selected from the drop-down but I need to be able to have optional section B open in turn.

Any ideas? I appreciate your help!

On your optional section use a formatting rule. Where the value, not the display value of the drop down list doesn't equal X hide your optional section.

I would like open an optional section based on the value selected from a drop-down list. Is it possible to do this with a rule? I tried using an action rule and didn't know what to select from the Add drop down menu on the Action portion of the rule creation. Does anyone know how I can drive the opening of an optional section based on a drop-down value?

Thanks!
