Not getting right behavior of use-when when using in multi (form type) form

[Ravindra Mandre-2]

Hi ,
I am facing problem while using the use-when tag inside the multi form,
I have to following form

<form name="CommonForm" type="multi" list-name="displayList"
use-row-submit="true"
        separate-columns="true" target="updateSomething"
odd-row-style="alternate-row" default-table-style="basic-table hover-bar">

        <field name="customTimePeriodId"><display/></field>
        <field name="statusId"><display/></field>
        <field name="attrValue" use-when="${statusId!='MARK'}"><text
size="5"/></field>
        <field name="attrValue"
use-when="${statusId=='MARK'}"><display/></field>
        <field name="field3" ><display/></field>
        <field name="field4" ><display/></field>
        <field name="updateButton" title="Submit"><submit
button-type="button"/></field>
        <field name="_rowSubmit"
title="${uiLabelMap.CommonRowSubmit}"><hidden value="Y"/></field>
 </form>

as expected it should display or text , field depending upon the passed
condition but
when i am using the use-when tag then the attrValue's display row gets
shifted toward the right-side of the form and inserts two extra <td> , which
makes forms look very ugly,  I am struggling with this from a long time, or
some can suggest of other way of using the "use-when " tag,
the purpose of doing this is i want to use same form for display and update.

I faced A similar problem and I found no answer to me question but while customizing in the return forms I found those lines
observe how the condition should be written (I didn't have time to test it myself)
        <field name="originContactMechId" use-when="returnHeader!=null&amp;&amp;&quot;RETURN_REQUESTED&quot;.equals(returnHeader.getString(&quot;statusId&quot;))"><hidden/>

Hi Shereen,
Thanks for your reply but I am fine with this if I am using with single form
, I want to use this in multi form (form Type = multi) , btw I also tried
the way you suggested but It does not gave me any good luck, If you came
across this situation while using multi form , please share.
thanks

hi all,
Is there any other way of using , use-when tag in multi form so that the
form should not insert extra spaces between columns.

Not sure if it's what you are looking for, but have you tried separate-columns="true" (form attribute)?

Ravi,
Check this
use-when="statusId.equals(&quot;MARK&quot;)"
I think this will resolve your problem .

The problem seems to me in your statement (use-when="${statusId!='MARK'}") is first it resolves statusId=='MARK' to true/false and then ${true/false} tries to get the value of true/false from context.
Let me know what happened after this.

Thanks and Regards
