Hello experts,  
I need an AND logic for “Sometimes Visible” to be based on two conditions.  
e.g. if a fieldX value in current record is 5 and fieldY value is True.

I’m new to Adalo and couldn’t find the solution yet.  
Your help is MUCH appreciated !

Thanks,  
Vered

As I understand it (and someone can correct me if I’m wrong), this isn’t something that can be done in Adalo.

You could put a component into a group, set the group’s visibility based on one condition, and then set the component visibility based on another - but I don’t personally know if that’s good practice.

Hopefully someone with more experience can say whether doing the above would cause extra app lag or other issues.

Hey @Vered,

@EchoTheOracle is completely right - you can do it using groups.  
On the element itself you put a 2nd conditional visibility (fieldY value is True) and then you make a group out of this element and put a 1st conditional visibility on it (fieldX value is 5).

This should not cause a lot of extra workload on the app. Anyway this is the only workaround 🙂

Best,  
Victor.
