How to disable containers based on user drop down selection

[mbudcst]

Hello, 

I had a question regarding multiple data streams in one workflow. How it is laid out is based on a user selection (ex: pears, apples, bananas, carrots) only a certain containers data stream should be ran. So if I have a separate container for each item (pears, apples, bananas, carrots), if the user selects carrots in the drop down, the other 3 containers should be disabled and only the carrots container should run. 

How can I achieve this?

You can leverage radio buttons with action tools that are connected to the containers. The Action tool would be configured to Enable/Disable the container based on what is selected. That way all containers would be in a disabled state until a radio button is selected.

Hi @mbudcst 

You can use condition tool like below. This is the best option while working with multiple containers.

What if i have interface tools available inside any of the container and i want to show it only when that container is enabled?
