Hide item on DCR not working when rowcontinue=t

Hi,

I have a replicant container and it has two child items.

If in the datacapture.cfg I defined them as follows:
<container name="parent" location="parent" hide-name="t" combination="and" min="0" max="30" default="0">
<item name="child1" pathid="child1">
<text size="40" maxlength="300" required="f" />
</item>
<item name="child2" pathid="child2">
<text size="40" maxlength="300" required="f" />
</item>
</container>

Then in my js I was able to use item.setVisible(flag) to hide or show child1 and child2 independently. However, if for child1, I change to <item name="child1" pathid="child1" rowcontinue="t">, then if I hide child1, child2 will also be hidden. If I try to only hide child2, it simply will be ignored, both items will be shown on the form.

Any ideas?

I ran into the same problem and could not come up with a good workaround. Basically I told my client if they wanted an item that they could hide/unhide it had o be on a line by itself.

Thanks for the response.

Could anyone working for Interwoven please let us know whether this is a bug or a designed behavior?

I suggest you open a case with support - provide them the DCT and FormAPI code along with steps to reproduce the problem (if possible provide as streamlined a DCT and FormAPI code as you can - just sufficient to demonstrate the problem) -- it will go a lot faster for them to then reproduce the problem and (assuming they can reproduce it) bump the issue up to Engineering.
