Display numerical field based on specific value, otherwise hidden

[first.officer]

Hi,

Am  attempting to get a field (H_ARM) to be "hidden" if a specific value (22.86615) is displayed, and if any other value at all is present, then the field should be "visible".....any ideas?

How do you insert values into that  field?

The field is automatically populated from another field called "ZFW_CG_ACTUAL",  and the figure is calculated in that field to 5d.p. - whereas the "H_ARM" field is set to 2d.p. - i've tried both iterations and variations (on d.p.'s) but without success ;-(

Use this code as custom validation script:

event.target.display = event.value == 22.86615 ? display.hidden : display.visible;

Hi Nesa,

Many thanks for your earlier reply - question if you don't mind? the script works fine, but when using on an iPad the value is intially hidden as desired but when using a drop-down field to populate the the "H_ARM" field, and then selecting a NIL value drop-down option, the "22.86615" value remains.....works as desired on a PC, but not iPad (using Fluix) - any ideas? 😉

It won't work on mobile devices. Check this post https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/pdf-forms-code-not-working-on-ipad/td-p/10384546?page=1
