Combine multiple conditions for custom fields (Show only when)

The Show only when setting in Task options controls whether a custom field appears on a task, based on the value selected in another custom field. You can now add more than one condition to Show only when, and the field only appears once every condition is met - which lets you build layered dependencies, for example showing Rework responsibility only when Classification is set to Deviation and Deviation Handling is set to Rework.

Add multiple "Show only when" conditions to a custom field

1. Open Project settings from the sidebar.
2. Select Tools / Modules, then open the Task options tab.
3. Find the custom field you want to control (for example Rework responsibility) and click its edit icon.
4. Expand Advanced settings if it is not already open.
5. Under Show only when, add a condition

How multiple "Show only when" conditions combine

Each row under Show only when is one condition, made of a field and a required value. When more than one row is present, CxPlanner combines them with AND logic: every condition must be true at the same time before the field is shown. In the example above, Rework responsibility stays hidden unless Classification is set to Deviation and Deviation Handling is set to Rework - if either value differs, the field does not appear.

Previously, Show only when accepted only one condition row, so a field could depend on a single other field but not on a combination of several. Add condition now lets you stack as many rows as the dependency needs.

If a custom field has no Show only when rows configured, it has no visibility restriction and always shows.
