Field States UI
This module provides a user-friendly interface for configuring the Field States API, allowing site builders to control field visibility and behavior based on the values of other fields. This makes it easier to create dynamic forms without needing to write custom PHP code.
Field States UI allows sites builders with minimal PHP/Dev skills to configure the Field States API. This lets you configure a field to for example hide if another field has a certain value or hasn't been filled. While doing it via PHP can be more powerful the UI can be very handy and speed development.

Usage
Configure a field
- Configuration can be accessed per field instance wherever that field
display is usually configured. For example fields on the Node type Article
would be at/admin/structure/types/manage/article/form-display. - Use the contextual gear icon to edit the field.
- There is now a Manage Fields States fieldset, select a new state, configure,
click 'Add' and Save. - Save the Form Display
Field Types/Widgets
Due to various array structures, specific widgets/fields need to handled
specifically for each field at least. Many fields are the same structure
for all widgets and are not documented except in the code. Unrecognized
widgets and field types will attempt to be handled but some will be logged
to the dblog in cases that Field States UI is unsure. Please report those
to the issue queue.
