Dependent fields with two or more criteria

musicaways

Hello guys.
I would like to modify the fields in a form (show / hide) according to the value selected in a select field that has three values.
This process has to be done with three different criteria depending on the selected value.
Return the code I used, can you help me to figure out where I am wrong?
Thanks a lot.

   editor.dependent( 'options', function ( val ) {
    return val === 'Simple' ?
        { hide: ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5','6','7','8'] } :
        { show: [] };
    return val === 'Simple2' ?
        { hide: ['5', '6', '7', '8'] } :
        { show: ['1', '2', '3', '4'] };
    return val === 'Simple3' ?
        { hide: ['1', '2', '3', '4'] } :
        { show: ['5', '6', '7', '8'] };
} );

Lines 5-10 are never reached. Lines 2 says 'if val is 'Simple' do line 3, otherwise do line 4, it then returns the val so it can never reach llines 5+. 'Simple2' and 'Simple3' they would be caught by line 4 because they don't match the first test and evaluate to the last clause of the ternary operator.
You'll need to change your logic so you can check for your other cases before returning.

Hi musicaways, maybe like this

editor.dependent( 'options', function ( val ) {

var fields;

if(val === "Simple"){
  fields =  { hide: ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5','6','7','8'],  show: [] };
  return fields
}
else if(val === "Simple2"){
 fields =   { hide: ['5', '6', '7', '8'], show: ['1', '2', '3', '4'] };
 return fields
}
else if(val === "Simple3"){
 fields =  { hide: ['1', '2', '3', '4'],  show: ['5', '6', '7', '8'] };
 return fields
}

});

It wasn't asked as a question originally, but rather as a discussion, so it can't be marked with an accepted answer I'm afraid.

OOO - I've just discovered I can change them! I've just done that and marked your reply as the answer.
