Is showing/hiding macro inputs based on drop-down menu choice possible with Interface Tool

Philip

I'm working on a macro who's inputs depend on which model is selected. I'd like to create dynamic input information for each selected model. Choices would show/hide based on the model chosen, similar to how the dynamic rename tool changes configuration properties based on the Rename Model.

 

Is showing/hiding inputs based on a drop-down choice possible with Alteryx's Interface tools? How can I show/hide properties based on the drop-down choice?

I don't think it's possible to do it with a drop down because you can't nest anything under it in the Interface Designer, but it's definitely possible with a Check Box or Radio Button.  The Check Box/Radio Button needs to have "Collapse Group when Deselected" checked.

The second step is to go into the Interface Designer and nest the input underneath the appropriate Check Box/Radio Button.

This will result in an input that is only activated when the Check Box/Radio Button is selected. I often use this method along with turning on and off containers within the workflow.

It's proving a bit more complicated using the radio button and check box approach, but I think this is going to work. Thanks!
