Is it possible to change or choose the multi line field icon on a condition?

For example - if that field has value in it, are we able to change the color of the notepad icon to red or choose a different icon other than the standard notepad icon?

@jamie.malangyaon  Conditional Formatting may work for you.  Although it seems a bit restricted in formulating your conditions in IFS. 
 

Here’s a sample applying the formatting in IFS and looking for an exact Description:

See the documentation here which describes the places formatting can be created and the limitations of each:

https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/25r1/060_development/022_user_interface/030_aurena_dev/130_aurena_component_reference/120_client_controls/conditional_formatting/


@jamie.malangyaon You can’t change the icon on condition, but as ​@Tracy Norwillo mentions condition formatting can be used to indicate this. If you need to scroll horizontally to see the Note field you can set the formatting to one of the first few fields so that it checks for the value of the note field. 
 


@Tracy Norwillo and ​@Wyomi Ranasinghe Ah ok, thank you for confirming this and sharing the documentation. This is a great suggestion!

I haven’t done any conditional formatting on text fields that are in the “Group” elements. Is that possible or is it only available on items in a “List” elements?


@jamie.malangyaon From what I see, conditional formatting looks like it’s only available on Lists.  I checked in IFS Developer Studio too and I get an error when attempting to add the same test code to the Group: 

 

 

Also of note, because I don’t remember what your Cloud version is, in 24r2 the possible definition levels are User and Developer, while in 25r1, we see the Configuration Level added.  This has nothing to do with your list vs group question, I’m just adding it because the possibilities differ between versions.

@Tracy Norwillo Ah I see, thanks for testing this out and sending me those links! Ah I see that they did add it on a configuration level. We are currently in 24r2 and I feel like we are aiming to do the Developer level but it’s good to know in case we go to 25r1 and a scenario comes up where it would benefit us to go the Configuration.


hi ​@Tracy Norwillo 

I'm trying to set a condition on the desired delivery date in the EE versions I used to use, but I can't get the field to set the condition to appear. Could you please help me? 

 

 

 

 

I don't even have this choice, as in the explanation on the IFS page, and I don't have the yes or no button either. 

 


Can you set a condition if the item description contains 'PJS' then the 'Project ID' field becomes red?

thank you for your help
