I have a controlled section that contains one table. I can verify that the table is part of the section by opening and collapsing the section title bar seeing the table appear and disappear. The problems is I have some code that hides this section based on a condition in the form. When that condition is met the section title bar dissappears as it should but the table in the section does not. I have many other sections like this that are not a problem and can’t seem to find anything different about this section than others. Any suggestions?

Try collapsing the section and then hiding it OR Try putting the same hide-when formula for the text/field in all the Table cells.
Hope this helps.

It’s a little counterintuitive, but this is Notes working as designed. The hide attributes in the “Section” properties apply only to the section header, not to the contents. If the section header is hidden, you can’t open or close the section, but if it’s already open you can see the contents. That’s probably why other times you’ve done this, it seemed to be working – because the sections happened to be closed.
This is very handy when working with controlled access sections. By using an editor formula and setting the default open/close attributes so that the section is only open for editors, and then hiding the header, anything in the section is automatically hidden from those not designated as section editors. This is great for hiding rich text fields (since each paragraph of rich text has its own hide attributes, which override those on the form).
