Is there a way to undo an action once a button has been clicked?

I am creating a form that has several signature fields for several different people to approve the document.  Not all signatures may be required, so I am creating buttons where the user clicks the button and the unneeded signature fields 'hide'. Is there a way to undo that action if the user decides the signature field they 'deleted' is now needed? The undo option under 'Edit' doesn't work. It seems that once the button has been clicked the action is performed and it's done and there is no undoing.  Does anyone know if an 'undo' option with buttons is available?

Here's a simple example of a script to toggle the visibility of a field:

var f = this.getField("Name of field goes here");
f.display = (f.display==display.visible) ? display.hidden : display.visible;

You can use the same button to show/hide the fields, but that will require using a script.

The built-in Undo command will not work, I think.

Add a button which performs the undo.
