Issue
- 'Field has dependants of its own' is checked for a field on a form. If the usage property for this field is set to 'hidden', its value is ignored by any fields marked 'Field is dependent on another.'
Resolution
From the Designer User Manual:
If the field Usage property is set to "hidden" for a particular action, when a user clicks on the action and the form is loaded, the hidden field is not sent to the browser. Therefore, no other fields on the form can reference (e.g., have visibility dependent on) the hidden field.
Set visibility to 'Don't Show' instead. Go to Properties --> Extra --> Visibility depends on --> Don't Show. In this case, the field and value are sent to the browser. If the HTML source code is viewed, the field is present, it just isn't displayed.
