Hide rich text in a form

I need to build a public facing form allowing users to submit data. Part of that requires me to show/hide certain expiatory text depending upon the user’s selections. The display options only allow for showing/hiding fields. This is a serious limitation. Is there a workaround?

Hi @PeterG!
I agree on the need for static components to have show/hide logic.
What you could do is create a placeholder text field in your object/table, add it to the form with a description above it and no label, and apply the show/hide logic to it. You’d just need some CSS to hide the actual text input, which would look something like:

input#field_xx {
  display: none;
}

Hopefully that’s an easy workaround for you!

Thanks Stephen. I’ll have to figure out how to apply that.
