Hide HTML text based on field value
- Feb 27, 2019Your variable probably isn't getting set because of the selected usually should be something like DataCardValue9.Selected.Value see if it lets you add that to the end.
Also when the app runs, and you select that, x out and go view the variables in the view menu and see if it has a true or false value set.
You'll want to use variables here and plug in the text, and show that variable by wrapping it in an IF() function like so, with on / off checkbox1.value
- Feb 26, 2019You could technically just use the IF statement as well in there surrounded by &'s with the values direct, but might be easier to set the variables so you can change the values easier.

Have a wonderful day! - Mellissa PerezFeb 27, 2019Copper Contributor
Hi Chris. I am struggling. For the drop down, I have the OnSelect property as If(DataCardValue9.Selected,'Lebanon, UAE', Set(embassy, true)). So if Lebanon, UAE is chosen it will set the var embassy as true.
In the HTML text input box, it surrounded the text that I wanted to be hidden with the ""& If(embassy = true, "...(the hidden text), "") &"" but its not taking the code.
Could you possibly tell me what I did wrong? I haven't worked with var before.
Thanks again.- Feb 27, 2019Your variable probably isn't getting set because of the selected usually should be something like DataCardValue9.Selected.Value see if it lets you add that to the end.

Woohoo I was able to get the text to hide. Half the battle :-D. I checked on the var and it shows as "No Value'.
Here is the OnSelect property for the field not the custom card = If(DataCardValue9.Selected.Value = "Beirut, Lebanon", Set(embassy, true), false).
- Feb 27, 2019And I don't know if this is copy paste code but make sure you have quotes around the hidden text since you don't there, but guessing it's just a typo.
