I am using a radio field with some options like pending, approved, rejected and other. I want to add condition such as if it was approved then hide rejected. Is this possible?
Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.
Currently, there is no way to hide some options from a field based on a condition. Conditions will work for the whole field and not for its options.
You may probably implement this by creating two radio fields, one that holds the 3 options and one that holds only two options, and based on a condition you can display one of the fields. You may also want to add custom code that will sync values from one field to another.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
The custom code-based solution that I suggest, is not to show that is only one field. I suggested the custom code to synchronize the value from the second field into the first.
So let's say that we have a radio field "status" that has possible options (pending, approved, rejected). We can add a second field, let's call it "status-2" that will have 2 options (pending, approved).
We can then build two conditions, one to display "status" if its value is different than "approved", the second will display "status-2" if the value of "status" equals "approved".
At this point, there is no need for any custom code. But, I imagine that you want to use these fields in a form, or that you just want to rely only on the value of "status", and that when we display "status-2", in a form or in the backend, and its value has changed, you would want to synchronize its value to "status", right! In that case, we'll need a custom code to do that. We can rely on the "save_post" hook and synchronize the value. Here is an example code:
add_action( 'save_post', 'my_prefix_sync_status', 10,3 );
function set_post_default_category( $post_id, $post, $update ) {
// Get the value from "status-2"
$status = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-status-2', true);
// Update the value in "status"
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-status', $status );
}
Thank you for the explanation. I am trying to make two status fields. Status 1 (pending, approved, decline). Status 2 ( borrowed, returned). In the beginning status 1 filed will be shown. When status 1 changed to approved, status 2 will be shown. I tried to use below condition but it is not working. Please let me know how to make it work.
