Inputfield dependencies and visibility of fields

[Juergen]

Hello @all

I have discovered an issue with inputfield dependencies depending on the visibility settings of the field where the dependency takes care of.

The picture below shows the setting of the "parent" field.

If the "parent" field has presentation "not editable" or "hidden", the inputfield dependency for the other field which takes care of this field wouldnt work. If I change the presentation fe to "open" everything work as expected.

Is this a normal behaviour?

In my case I show or hide a field depending on the settings of this "parent" field. If the "parent" field has one of the two settings written above, the "child" field is always invisible.

Best regards

Inputfield dependency selectors work by parsing the values of the html <input>'s and alike. If a field is not editable these are rendered at all. If you need visibility selectors to work with fields hidden/not editable use a hook after ProcessPageEdit::buildForm instead.

Thanks for the answere. I have solved the problem with jquery in my adminscript.js to hide the parent and use the setting "open".
