Conditional Object Size?

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

Hello all,

I'm a little bit new to FileMaker and have been tasked by my employer to make several updates/changes and additions to many of our clients' databases.

I was wondering if there was any possible way to have conditionally expanding/contracting field or object sizes (or even conditionally visible/click-able) based off of a calculation.

I have seen that there's a sliding/printing option to constrain them but that's only helpful for Print/Preview mode, rather than for what I need (Browse mode).

Essentially, I have a container field used for special purposes in a Portal which I need to be of certain sizes based off of the entries found in another, related field in the same portal.

Is this at all possible through conditional formatting and/or scripts or do I need to look into other solutions?
