How to hide a Field group

Hi @mukape,

At the moment, I’m afraid the Visibility conditions can only be based on fields except for Field Group. You could hide a Field Group based on existing fields but not possible to hide/show a Field group based on a Field Group.

Just to be sure your concern is only when you try to hide one Field Group t another, right?

It works fine for me when I try to hide the Field Group with other fields, for example:

Could we know the use cases where you think the such a feature would be helpful?

I’m checking the workflow with our Forminator team regarding this to see if the current workflow could be improved further down the plugin’s roadmap.

Will keep you posted once we get further feedback.

Kind Regards,

Hi dear,

I’m asking about hiding field group in general, not based on visibility conditions, not based on another field or group.

I only want to gather some fields into a field group and hide the group for now, you got it?
As I told you, I’m using the form for HR purposes, so i need to hide some fields i don’t need for now, I may need later, then i can unhide it.

not like visibility conditions, just like deactivate/hide/disable/not showing the field group for now -> hide field / unhide field

I can give a class to this field group and hide it using css:
.class{display:none;}, but i don’t need to use css because it still load in the frontend

so, i was asking is there any way/option to hide field group.

Hi @mukape,

Thanks for explaining further, I’m afraid there isn’t any such feature at the moment.

What the form currently supports is hiding using CSS by adding the following class inside the “Styling” tab of the Field Group:

forminator-hidden

Or hiding using Visibility rules. With Visibility conditions, you could hide using hidden fields or any fields. For example:

However, all the above methods are similar to using display:none; as you have stated.

The form doesn’t support an option to deactivate or disable a field at the moment.

I’ll make sure to pass your feedback to our developer’s attention to see if such a feature could be looked at in the plugin’s roadmap in future.

Kind Regards,

Nithin

Thank you so much for support
