Conditions too hide or show for fields with Adobe pro DC

Question

Dear Community,i've tried to configure a Dropdown Menu for a example Car, Bike, House. If i selecet Car, in the next Textfield should House buy date hide and instead of that should Car brand/ model shows. I use Adobe pro DC and i can't find the conditions settings. Many thanks for your support and answers. Best RegardsNoel

Here is an article on hiding and showing fields:

The delayed selection response you are seeing is because the dropdown value is not being committed immediately. So the validation script isn't run until you exit the field. Fortunately there is a setting for this. Look on the option tab in the dropdown properties dialog. Select the "Commit selection immediately" option.

As the custom validation script of your drop-down field use something like this:

this.getField("House buy date").display = (event.value=="House") ? display.visible : display.hidden;

You can duplicate that line and adjust the field name and values as needed.

Note that this code does not reset the fields when hiding them, though, so if you want to make sure that that field is also empty when not shown then you'll need to use additional code to do it.
