Hi Sajul,

you can only show or hide whole input components based on the boolean state of a check box. Please keep in mind that hidden means not that the component is gone. It is only not shown but will be still saved.

Take this real world example:

... 
<CMS_INPUT_RADIOBUTTON name="pt_headerType" gridHeight="1" gridWidth="3" hFill="yes" useLanguages="no">
    <ENTRIES>
      <ENTRY value="none">
        <LANGINFOS>
          <LANGINFO lang="*" label="Without stage"/>
        </LANGINFOS>
      </ENTRY>
      <ENTRY value="category">
        <LANGINFOS>
          <LANGINFO lang="*" label="Category name"/>
        </LANGINFOS>
      </ENTRY>
      <ENTRY value="image">
        <LANGINFOS>
          <LANGINFO lang="*" label="Small stage"/>
        </LANGINFOS>
      </ENTRY>
    </ENTRIES>
    <LANGINFOS>
      <LANGINFO lang="*" label="Stage"/>
    </LANGINFOS>
  </CMS_INPUT_RADIOBUTTON>
  <CMS_GROUP name="cg_image">
    <LANGINFOS>
      <LANGINFO lang="*" label="Small stage"/>
    </LANGINFOS>
...
</CMS_GROUP>
...

Rules to show CMS-group only if the right radio-button is chosen:

<RULES>
  <ON_EVENT>
  <WITH>
  <EQUAL>
  <PROPERTY name="ENTRY" source="pt_headerType"/>
  <TEXT>image</TEXT>
  </EQUAL>
  </WITH>
  <DO>
  <PROPERTY name="VISIBLE" source="#form.cg_image"/>
  </DO>
  </ON_EVENT>
</RULES>

Of cause you can apply this on simple input components instead of CMS-groups too.

Hi Marian,

Thanks for your answer, ok noted, so it not possible to make a rule for the child element in input component at this moment.

I already doing like the example above, but the requirement I got need something like my question, so I go through the documentation and cannot find any rule like that, just need to confirm I raise the question here

Regards

Sajul
