Multiple Trigger on single Field in fields.yaml (OctoberCMS)

Question

I'm currently trying to add a trigger to a form with multiple trigger on single field.

In my case when select intetnal it triggers contenttype and than it shows video or article based on selection. And after doing all things when I will select external from link it will not trigger to close contenttype

I am trying but not working :

   link:
        label: 'Internal Or External Link'
        options:
            internal: Internal
            external: External
        span: full
        default: internal
        required: 1
        type: dropdown
        comment: 'Select Link Type'
    external_link:
        label: 'External Link'
        span: full
        trigger:
            action: show
            field: link
            condition: 'value[external]'
        type: text
        comment: 'Enter External Link'
    content_type:
        label: 'Content Type'
        options:
            video: Video
            article: Article
        span: full
        trigger:
            action: show
            field: link
            condition: 'value[internal]'
        type: dropdown
        comment: 'Select Content Type'
    videolink:
        label: 'Video Link'
        span: full
        trigger:
            action: show
            field: content_type
            condition: 'value[video]'
        type: text
        comment: 'Enter Video Link'
    article_content:
        label: 'Article Content'
        size: large
        span: full
        trigger:
            action: show
            field: content_type
            condition: 'value[article]'
        type: richeditor
        comment: 'Add Article Content'

Hmm, you can do it but we need to make sure content_type get empty on hide

so, we can do this

external_link:
    label: 'External Link'
    span: full
    trigger:
        action: hide
        field: link
        condition: 'value[internal]'
    type: text
    comment: 'Enter External Link'
content_type:
    label: 'Content Type'
    emptyOption: -- select a status --
    options:
        video: Video
        article: Article
    span: full
    trigger:
        action: hide|empty
        field: link
        condition: 'value[external]'
    type: dropdown
    comment: 'Select Content Type'

we can use multiple actions to get our job done. and yes we also need to add emptyOption for content_type to make it empty.

so when link value is external then it will hide and empty field content_type so in order to that reaction videolink OR article_content can not get its value as content_type will be empty so they also hide with that.

For the sake of simplicity I am putting diff images so you get better idea what I have changed :)

if any doubt please comment.

setting`empty` does the trick if you have nested / multiple fields conditions. — Raja Khoury, Nov 08 '19 at 22:16
