Referencing Parent Fields from Nested Items?

Need Help
#1

Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to trigger the fields within the nested items via a condition of a parent field. Could this be added?

fields:
    type:
        label: Type
        type: dropdown
        options:
            1: Simple
            2: Complex

    content:
        label: Content
        type: nesteditems
        form:
            fields:
                colors:
                    label: Colors
                    type: colorpicker
                    trigger:
                        action: show
                        field: ^type
                        condition: value[2]

This configuration is working :

fields:
    type:
        label: Type
        type: dropdown
        options:
            1: Simple
            2: Complex

    content:
        label: Content
        type: nesteditems
        form:
            fields:
                colors:
                    label: Colors
                    type: colorpicker
                    trigger:
                        action: show
                        field: ^type
                        condition: value[2]

You select “Complex” and you have the colorpicker showing the options.

What is your issue ?

yes, it works as a nestedForm but not as a nestedItems type.

The nesteditems field uses relation controller which renders a new form. Do you mean repeater?

The following example should hopefully clarify what I meant.

fields:
    type:
        label: Type
        type: dropdown
        options:
            1: Test1
            2: Test2

    nestedform:
        label: nestedform
        type: nestedform
        form:
            fields:
                test1:
                    label: Test1
                    type: text
                    trigger:
                        action: show
                        field: ^type
                        condition: value[1]
                test2:
                    label: Test2
                    type: text
                    trigger:
                        action: show
                        field: ^type
                        condition: value[2]

    nesteditems:
        label: nesteditems
        type: nesteditems
        form:
            fields:
                test1:
                    label: Test1
                    type: text
                    trigger:
                        action: show
                        field: ^type
                        condition: value[1]
                test2:
                    label: Test2
                    type: text
                    trigger:
                        action: show
                        field: ^type
                        condition: value[2]

The fields within the nestedform can be triggered.
The fields within the nesteditems cannot be triggered.

If this is not possible…is there another way to achieve this?

Thx

I see.

Unfortunately, this is not possible since the nested items are contained in a different form. Consider using a content group (groups) definition, which has a similar effect.
