Hide HTML text based on field value
- Your 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
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.

Here is the OnSelect property for the field not the custom card = If(DataCardValue9.Selected.Value = "Beirut, Lebanon", Set(embassy, true), false).- If they text is working then it's probably fine. You need to put logic in so when you select that value, then change it to something else the variable get's cleared or changed to something else.
So on the If(DataCardValue9.Selected,'Lebanon, UAE', Set(embassy, true)) need to add an else in there.
If(DataCardValue9.Selected,'Lebanon, UAE', Set(embassy, true),Set(embassy,false)) etc. Don't know how this is triggering, but something to consider.
- And 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.
