ARS Configuration - Register User Tab - Dynamic Attributes Action String

Hi, would like to ask if anyone did the hide and show action strings for dynamic attributes under Register User configuration?

We've a request to hide and show some fields upon create user request. Some of the fields consists of default value (in my case I've configured a large text with default value). This default value is not working if the hide and show action configured. It will always display blank instead of the default value assigned.

Anyone have face this problem or any other idea to achieve the above?

Thanks.

Have you tried using another dynamic value to hold the text and assign it rather than use the default field? It may behave differently. Can you share your action string? Is the action string on the dynamic value field that holds the default text?

Those action strings are wonky, here are my notes from the 200 level class for posterity:

action string field: control visibility of dynamic attrs on form.

what action to perform when parent attr changes field: only choice is Mapping

action string: only supports SHOW, HIDE, to control what is displayed in request.

action string: format:

event (SHOW or HIDE)

delimiter (###)

what control to perform event on (dynamic attr name)

delimiter (###)

the evaluated result of this dynamic attr to be tested. if the result is true, this event occurs. Multiple events and tests are delimited by 3 underscore (_)

Example:

SHOW###Department###TRUE___HIDE###Department###FALSE___HIDE###Department###NONE
