Is it possible to set up conditional formatting for form only? I like to keep my grid clean, but would like to make some fields (e/g date) when certain things are (not) set. 

Any thoughts on this?

Hi Alex,

Currently this is not possible but it is a good idea to post here on the Community :wink:

Alternatively, you can have expression fields (without Conditional layout) in your Grid to display the values for the database fields, and use the database fields (with Conditional layout) in your form.

That way you show the same values in two places, but only showing the expression fields in the Grid and the real fields only in the Form-with the Conditional layout.

Yes, this is the way I have it setup now, but, my idea would easier to maintain. I thought I might have missed something. But alas, not the case. Perhaps in the next release this is a feature:)

thnx!

Sidenote; we do have an extended property to do this but it then changes it for the whole application:

If desired, add this extended property to the SF/IAM and give it the value Form
