How do I make a work item attribute/field only visible upon the specific selection of another attribute's choice?

Thanks again for your reply Davyd. Having the attribute only be hidden on the forms is exactly what I would need. If it shows in queries and reports that is not a concern because my users won't go that far with it.

Ok. Thank you Davyd for your time and help on this.

As far as I am aware there are no fancy ways allowing to hide attribute presentations. It is only possible to hide attributes based on the configuration options in the editor presentation. I am not aware of a dynamic way and there is also no API that I would be aware of.

- Reports

In RTC you can hide or show an attribute on a form based on the presence of a link on the work item.

Thank you Luca for looking at my question and answering. I am definitely interested in this option. I'm not sure I fully understand how to set this up or if this link would create confusion among my users as to what it is if they didn't understand the purpose, but I will test things out in my development environment and try to understand how your solution works.

This page explains how to create a custom link type:

If I remember correctly (I made such a customization a few years ago, with version 6.0.3), there is a property on the attribute presentation where you can specify that behavior.

Yes, this is one of the very few options to hide an attribute. It only hides in the editor presentation as far as I am aware.
