invisible

Whether the element is visible (False) or hidden (True), as a Python expression that evaluates to a bool.

Note

There are two uses for the invisible attribute:

• Usability: to avoid overloading the view and to make it easier for the user to read, depending on the content.

• Technical: a field must be present (invisible is enough) in the view to be used in a Python expression.

Example

<field name="fname_a" invisible="True"/> <!-- necessary to evaluate invisible attribute of 'fname_b' field -->
<field name="fname_b" invisible="fname_c != 3 and fname_a == parent.fname_d"/>
<group invisible="fname_c != 4">
    <field name="fname_c"/>
    <field name="fname_d"/>
<group>
