Re: [Semediawiki-user] Two problems with "show on select"

[Yaron K. <ya...@wi...>]

Hi Pierre,

Yes - unfortunately, "show on select" can't be used for that purpose; you
can't have two or more different {{{field}}} tags for the same field, and
then only show one of them depending on other inputs. It's too bad, because
it would be useful for a lot of applications, but I looked into it and it
appeared to be difficult to implement.

One option is to instead have different fields, that set the same property
- that may or may not be useful for your specific case, which looks like
some sort of meta-form.
