Computed for Display Date Field

HCL Domino Domino Forum

On a form, I have 2 date/time fields. The first field, Next_Review_Date, is editable and have the following hidewhen formula: Status = “Obsolete” | Status = “Draft”. The other field, dispNext_Review_Date, is a computed for display field with Next_Review_Date as its formula. Also, the dispNext_Review_Date field have the following hidewhen formula: Status != “Obsolete” | Status != “Draft”.

Is it possible to have the dispNext_Review_Date field to be visible or “greyed out” when there is no value in the Next_Review_Date field? Currently, I don’t see any fields when the status is Draft or Obsolete.

Thanks for your help in advance!

hi carolyn,

if you want to toggle field display using hide-when formula then use the ! operator for the formula. on your case, you can use !(Status = “Obsolete” | Status = “Draft”) on the computed for display field.

I think your problem is that the hide when for your dispNext_Review_Date field should be Status != “Obsolete” & Status != “Draft”.

You can change the field style to “Native OS” and that should always show the field outline even if it is empty
