How to set dependency rules for multi select field or hide a tab and make required fields not required within the hidden tab?

Hi Katie DelValle,

Have you tried using custom dependencies for those fields that are triggering as dependent?

Using this method to set those fields to only be required under the same scenarios that the tab/panel is visible might work.

I hope this helps!

I've used the Studio dependency logic, but haven't tried the coding logic. Do you know if the logic will work with the multiselect field or will I run into the same limitations? 

I will give it a try to see what happens. 

Hi Katie DelValle,

I have tried custom dependency for multi-select fields but custom dependency is not supportable for multi-select fields, For required validation of multi-select field you can use the "addValidationTask" method. Following is the detailed link:

In your case, you need to add this method both in CreateView and RecordView. Call this method in initialize function and in render function add your show/hide functionality based on condition like:

_render: function () {
var self = this;
self.model.on("change", function () {
if (_.contains(self.model.get('field_name'), "field value")) {             //condition based on your multi-select field value
self.$('span[data-fieldname="field_name"]').show();
self.$('.record-label[data-name="field_name"]').show();
} else {
self.$('span[data-fieldname="field_name"]').hide();
self.$('.record-label[data-name="field_name"]').hide();
}

})

self._super('_render');
}
