Hi,

I feel a little dumb here for this easy question, but I could not figure it out. How can I display an optional date over a container field using conditional formatting a check box?

- There are 2 fields : datePicture and showDatePicture.

- The user has the possibility to show or not the date by checking the showDatePicture box.

- There is always a value in datePicture.

I was going to set the text of "datePicture" to clear pattern, but... surprise there is no transparent color for text. Is there a way to set the text transparent to make it invisible over a container?

Thank you

You can work the other way around. Make the text default transparent and give it a textfill black if the condition is met.

Make the text default transparent

there is no transparent color for text.

Sorry about this. I had a wrong memory about how I solved this in the past. I use the color of the background, which of course is not possible in case of a picture.

Thanks comment it worked and sorry for the delay, I don't receive the notifications...
