Display fields rules

[pepe]

I am using the display fields rules feature to hide/show various fields in a form for tasks.
I have several user fields like owner (created_by) of the record, responsible to finish the task (leadership), participants, etc.
There are various roles to derive from the users, some of them are:
- admin
- responsible
- participant
- copy_to
Depending on the role, a user must have edit access to fields. Therefore, the approach of using display fields rules. When the form is being loaded, jquery function determine the user role and sets the corresponding value in a dummy dropdown field.
When I pick a particular value in the form using mouse or keyboard, then the defined display fields rules are applies accordingly.
However, when I use jquery function to set a value programmatically, then display fields rules are not applied to the form.
Does someone know a solution to that problem?
Thank you, regards, Pepe

once you change value you have to trigger change event, for example:

Code: Select all

$("#fields_13").val("11").trigger("change")
