Unable to Hide Fields Conditionally in FactBox

Posted on by AR-13011200-0

I have several fields in a FactBox, and I want to control their visibility dynamically based on certain conditions.

However, even after setting the Visible property (or using a Boolean variable), I am unable to hide those fields—they remain visible.

Is there any limitation or specific approach required to control field visibility in a FactBox page?

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows the correct way to hide FactBox fields conditionally?

Hello,

Yes, this is a common FactBox limitation: you cannot control visibility of FactBox fields from the parent page—only the FactBox page itself can do that. To hide fields conditionally, the logic must live inside the FactBox (CardPart/ListPart) using a global Boolean variable bound to Visible, usually marked with [InDataSet], and set in OnAfterGetCurrRecord or OnOpenPage, often followed by CurrPage.Update(false) so the client refreshes. If the condition depends on context (where it’s opened from), expose a public procedure on the FactBox and call it from the host page. Expecting the host page to hide individual FactBox fields is not supported.

Regards,
