Hiding Attributes Conditionally
Attribute-Based Configuration allows you to create the dependency for the target attribute to either make the attribute conditionally visible or hide the attribute based on other selections. This helps to provide only relevant sets of attributes for the user to make selections, thus providing a guided experience for configuration.
The following table displays the data types on which you can perform this action and the value of Value Expression required.
Action | Datatypes supported | Value Expression |
