How can I create a custom form with dynamic fields

Hello,

my task is to realize a number of fields in a form which appear dependent from completion specified above in this form.

It works in the Asset Mgmt built-In f.i.  Create Asset - Tab Acounting Information
Depending on choosing Purchase or Lease you get different fields in the form to fill out.

How can I do this in my own Create "XY-Ressource Type" -form?

2nd: How can I delete a date or reset a date-field depending from form completion?

Thanks a lot
Gunnar

For the first item I'm not

For the first item I'm not sure how you might accomplish something like that.  Everytime I've needed to have different fields I've always found it made more sense to separate my items into different Resource Types.  You might consider that path if you haven't.  Though, I could envision some reasons to not do that, I've just not done it yet.

For your second item I want to think you could run a connector to do that.  Actually, just off the top of my head, maybe two connectors.  An immediate possibility you might try is exporting a report that includes assets updated within a certain interval and include the current date (or modified date) as a column.  Then re-import that information to update the columns for those assets that need to be updated.

Hopefully that makes sense.  Hit me back if you have questions on that second one.  Maybe someone else has tried to work through your first question.
