Conditionally expand or collapse a section on a form

[Audrey H.]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to conditionally expand or collapse a section on a form?  I know there is no OOB option to add a conditional expression in the form properties, but if you look at the Frame properties through Format Details, the property when expanded is "isExpanded=1", so I wondered if anyone has figured out a way to use this in an expressin somehow to expand a section in a form, only under certain conditions.

No. You can set a default, but there is not a method to expand/collapse sections based on a condition.

Hi All,

I have two groups on a form. 1st group is expanded by default and i want the second group to be expanded when the fields in the 1st group are populated via a fill button.

Can this be possible ? 

Thanks

No. There is not a way to conditionally expand/collapse a section. You could submit an enhancement request with support.

I've confirmed that no additional properties have been added to the group object in 9.31 Patch 3 (released last month) or in Process Designer Content Pack 4 (9.30.3).

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.  I think submitting an enhancement request is probably the best idea, so I will probably do that.  Thanks.

Actually, you can. You need to implement some new logic to "ExpandebleDynamicPanelNew.jsp" and "ExpandebleDynamicSectionNew.jsp" and also update logic at java-class files. That's it.

Oh, just forgot, you also should create database table for collapse\expand settings..
