Value

If you selected the Clear Attribute option from the Type of actions list, the action's Value is not needed and hidden. If you selected the Set Attribute from the Type of actions list, you need to either type in the text that you want to appear or make a selection. This field varies depending on the Target Attribute you selected:

  • Help text - A rich text box appears so you can configure the help text you want to show.
  • Label - A text box appears so you can type in the new label for your form's field.
  • Required - Shows a Value option for you to select to make the field mandatory or to clear it to make the field optional.
  • Enable - Shows a Value option for you to select to make the field changeable or clear it to disable the field when the conditions are met. You can still see the field's value, but you can't amend this.
  • Value - Shows a field so you can either type in or select a value. For example, if the Target Field is a text field, you need to type in a value. If it is a drop-down list, you need to select from the list. If the field is a date, you need to choose a date.
  • Visible - Shows a Value option for you to select to make the field visible when the conditions are met or clear to hide the field when the options are met.
