I want the Acquisition Type textbox field or it's values to be hidden or unavailable unless the Real Property Action Type = Acquisition, I'm having trouble making this happen and understanding the configuration.

Hi Jabree,

You need to use Conditional UI in Application Designer to hide the Acquisition Type field when Real Property Action Type doesn't equal 'Acquisition'. 

Here's the setup:

First, create a conditional expression in the Conditional Expression Manager (Administration → Conditional Expression Manager):

• Name it something like "HIDEACQTYPE" - Expression: :YOURATTRIBUTE != 'Acquisition' (adjust the attribute name to match your actual field)
• Check "Always Evaluate" so it re-evaluates when the Real Property Action Type changes.

Next, open Application Designer for your application and find the Acquisition Type textbox field. Right-click it and go to Properties → Advanced tab. You need to assign it a Signature Option (create one or use "READ" so that the condition will apply to anyone who can access the application). Set the SigOption Data Source ID to "MAINRECORD" if both fields are on the same object.

Now click Configure Conditional Properties in that same Advanced tab:

• Select your signature option
• Select security group (usually EVERYONE)
• Select your conditional expression from step 1
• Add to "Condition is True"
  • Set Property to "hidden" and Value to "true" This tells Maximo: when the condition is true (meaning Real Property Action Type is NOT 'Acquisition'), hide the field.
• Add to "Condition is False"
  • Set Property to "hidden" and Value to "false" - when the condition is false (meaning Real Property Action Type is 'Acquisition'), show the field.

 Save everything and log out/back in. The Acquisition Type field should now only appear when Real Property Action Type equals 'Acquisition'.

Hey Maycon, I appreciate the response. Is there any way I can message you to discuss conditional expression manager? Currently having some issues with the multipart textbox and I've read that it may be expected but I'm not sure.
