# Problem

Some fields are needed on the screen only when another field has a certain value. Keeping the fields visible on the screen when they are not needed creates clutter and may cause users to enter information in the wrong place.

# Solution

You can solve this problem using Power Scripts™ Live Fields. The scripts will get the value of a customized and based on that value it will conditionally show or hide other fields.

**liveField.sil**

This is the main script that will be used in the Live Fields configuration. This script will call the second script, hook.sil.

```
lfInstantHook({"customfield_XXXXX"}, "hook.sil");
lfWatch("customfield_XXXXX", {"customfield_XXXXX"}, "hook.sil");
```

**hook.sil**

This script is not used in the configuration but instead is triggered by the main script.

```
if(argv["customfield_xxxx"] == "ABC") {
    lfHide("customfield_1111");
    lfHide("customfield_2222");
    lfHide("customfield_3333");
} else {
    lfShow("customfield_1111");
    lfShow("customfield_2222");
    lfShow("customfield_3333");
}

if(argv["customfield_xxxx"] == "XYZ") {
    lfHide("customfield_4444");
    lfHide("customfield_5555");
    lfHide("customfield_6666");
} else {
    lfShow("customfield_4444");
    lfShow("customfield_5555");
    lfShow("customfield_6666");
} 
```

# Important Information

- Other custom fields can be added inside the logic statements as needed
- Multiple “trigger” fields can be used to create the conditions that show or hide other custom fields
- This script does not hide any custom fields by default. However, this can easily be added by copying the lfShow() functions and pasting them at the top of the script.
