Dear Carlos,
Could you please let us know more details on your question? What goal do you want to achieve? Thank you so much beforehand.
Looking forward to your clarification.
Regards,
Dean
I have two fields: object type chosen from a lookup (A) and object type written manually by some user in a text field (B). There should be only one of the fields A and B filled up at one time and I only want to show the one currently filled up. What I tried to do, is this layout and setting the visible property conditionally:
| A | some other field | | B |
What I tried to achieve is:
| A | some other field | or | B | some other field |
What I got:
| A | some other field | or | some other field | | B |
Dear Carlos,
Thank you for the reply.
You can achieve this result by creating 2 business rules. Here is the example: On the Account page you have two fields 'Also known as' and 'Code' https://prnt.sc/lnngw2. You can create two business rules, the conditions are as follows: https://prnt.sc/lnnixz and https://prnt.sc/lnnjrt
Thus, you create to conditions that say - 'if one field is filled it, another one is not visible'. The results are in the pictures: http://prntscr.com/lnnm7t and http://prntscr.com/lnnkp4
Hope this solution will help you out.
Best regards,
Dean

The problem is not to hide the fields. The problem is that when I hide the field A some other field on the right takes its place. I would like the field B to take place of A.
Carlos Zaldivar Batista,
If only one of the two fields will be displayed at a time, you can edit the page to have both controls occupy the same space (have the same row & column values). Technically, both controls will be in the exact same spot with only one showing at a time.

Ryan Farley,
Thank you, this seems to work. The bad part is that if I save the page using the designer the row and column settings return to the previous state. I'll have to remember to set them up again every time I use it.
Carlos Zaldivar Batista,
That is good to know, I wasn't aware the designer changed that back. I'll have to watch out for that.
