Remaining text fields do not move down when a hidden field is made visible

[Halfjob2]

Hi, I have spent the best part of today watching videos and reading guides but have failed to solve what I think should be very easy! I am using the latest version of LifeCycle Designer, I am also hoping that the answer does not require scripting as this would be out of my knowledge area. So hopefully the Action Builder can be used here which is what I have been trying to use.

So basically all I want is to hide a text field and then when the user selects a choice from a drop down i,e "Yes"then the text field appears ready to complete. The trouble I have is that the remaining fields on the form do not move down and the now visible text field is displayed ontop of the next text field rather than nudging it down so neither can be read. I have ensure the form is opened in 'Dynamic Mode' and have also ensured the main subform on the page as Flowed and then created groups of text fields in further subforms but kept all these as positioned not flowed.

Please can someone advise how to make the rest of the form move down when the field is made available - much appreciated?

I woudl need to see the Design to advise how to do this. If you want to send it to LiveCycle8@gmail.com I wil have a look when I get a chance. Please include a description of the issue in the email.

You have to make sure that your subform that contains the textFields is also flowed. Otherwise you can only do "invisible". I included a sample for you to see how it works. If you need anymore help let me know.
