Dynamically change control styles of fields

[mjames16]

Hi guys, I'm trying to dynamically change a text field from one that autofills using a calculation to a dropdown list depending on the value of another field. If the other field = "yes" then the original field should be autofilled, if the other field = "no" then the original field should become a drop-down list. 

What would be the best way to do this? 

 

Thank you for any help!

welcome to the forums

a field can't have two types of style formatting applied with regard to entry - or drop down you may stack two of the same fields and use hide object when logic to hide the field based on you yes/no field.

The two are not mutually exclusive: auto-entering a value works at the data level and isn't affected by how the field is formatted on a layout (note that the same field can have multiple instances placed on multiple layouts).
