Show/Hide Form Fields I am using the following JavaScript function to show and hide the field while adding data.
$('select[name="certValidity"]').on('change', function(){
if ($(this).val() == 'One Time') {
$('.certEndDate').hide();
} else {
$('.certEndDate').show();
}
});
But while retrieving the same row using Django template, it is showing all the fields.
For Example: If i saved certification validity as "One Time" which do not include "CertEndDate" and when i try to retrieve the same data its showing "certEndDate" field.
So my question is how to hide the certEndDate while retrieving the "One Time" certificate data.
I found a solution to the above.
Sharing here will help others if they have similar issues.
You need to add the following in the template file.
{% if certificaitonForm.certValidity.value != 'One Time' %}
<div class="col-lg-6 certEndDate">
<div class="form-floating mb-7">
{{certificaitonForm.certEndDate}}
<label>Certification End Date</label>
</div>
</div>
{% endif %}
