hint not being rendered when field becomes non relevant

I have a date field in my form which has a visibility condition.
I've added appearance="minimal" to the hint, but when the field becomes relevant, the hint isn't displayed.

It is displayed upon refreshing the form because of the fact that the field was visible (and autosaved).

Is there a way to avoid this? To render the placeholder when the visibility condition evaluates to true?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Masha,

What version of Orbeon Forms are you seeing this with? And if with 2017.1,
would you be able to create a minimal example that reproduces the problem,
that we can run here, and attach it a response so we can look into it?

Alex

Re: hint not being rendered when field becomes non relevant

Hi Alex,

thanks for your reply.
I am having issues both on 4.8 and 2016.3. Unfortunately, I'm not able to upgrade to 2017.1 at this point but I'd need a solution if there is one.

I've noticed that I can add the placeholder attribute in <xxf:script ev:event="xforms-enabled">, but the only problem is that I don't know how to get the label of the hint from resources for this field.

I have multiple languages so I can't hard code it.

An additional thing I've noticed is that with appearance="full", the hint is visible. But I need it as a placeholder.

I've created a basic example:

Re: hint not being rendered when field becomes non relevant

Hi Masha,

Thank you for the test case; indeed, this was a bug. I created an issue to
track this, and pushed a fix. Since we're too close to the release, I'm not
going to include it in 2017.2, and it will instead most likely go in the
next release (2018.1). (For those reading this and with a PE Gold, feel free
to contact us through Basecamp for a hot fix.)

Was there anything else related to this?

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply.

I haven't noticed anything else. I've managed to achieve adding the placeholder with xxf:script and appearance="full".

Kind regards,

Masa

I'm glad you also have a workaround, Masha, and again thank you for letting
us know about this issue; it is sometimes hard for us to test all the
possible combinations in which the features in the product can be used, so
I'm glad you caught this one, and we got a chance to fix it.
