The purpose of the enhancements were to update the design of dynamic control custom field within a dynamic control field)for more consistent and improved behavior.'''<br /><br /font> Enhancements included: * Modified the dynamic control field so it renders as individual fields as opposed to divs of field sets* When a parent option changes, ajax is used to control the visibility of the sub fields* When sub fields are hidden, they are also disabled to support Smartcheck and also prevent data from posting

==Special Field Options==* '''Values''' control the options displayed in combo box. For example: '''No;Yes'''

Values are separated by semi-colons with no spaces. If the '''Allow Empty''' option is set to unchecked, then the first value will need to be a prompt for the [[User|user]] as the value will not be accepted as a valid selection. For example: '''Select from List;Yes;No'''

In this example, one set of [[Custom Field|custom fields]] can be displayed if '''Yes''' is selected, and an alternative set of fields displayed if '''No''' is selected.

'''Addition Custom fields''' – additional custom fields are added to the field.

[[Image:Cf23Cf_dcf_ex3.png|link=|900px]] The '''Tab''' name is used to control the sub-fields to be displayed. In this example, setting the tab name to '''Yes''' displays the fields when '''Yes''' is selected in the '''Dynamic Control''' field. {{VisibilityCondition}}{{FieldPermissionMatrix}}{{Validation}}==Value Storage==

{{CFPermissionsTab}} ==Move to Parent Level==If a client wishes to convert Dynamic Control sub fields to [[Dynamic Field Visibility Control|Branching fields]] then there is now a button on both custom field list view and edit custom field page to '''**NoteMove to Parent level''': When used in conjunction with Store To Value, . It will automatically copy the value cannot [[Display order]] from the original parent field to the sub-fields when moving the sub fields. This means the sub-fields should continue to be stored displayed close to a field outside of the Dynamic Control Field's original parent field setwhen shown on screen. {{FieldFormattingOptions}}{{FieldPermissions}}

==Notes==

{{NoEmbeddedDynamicFields}}

<font size="3">'''You must not use embedded dynamic control fields (a dynamic control field within a dynamic control field).'''</font>

When using a dynamic control field beneath a '''Title bar''' field the number of columns of the title bar must be set to 1.

You can determine the fields to be displayed based on more than a single value. For example, if the field options are: '''Select From List;Less than 100;Between 100 and 200;Greater than 300'''. You could set the value for a given field to display in more than one selection. Setting the value to '''Less than 100;Greater than 300''' would display the field when either of these options was selected.
