How do I hide and show a field based on another field's content?

Often in a form, there is one field, for example a request type field that dictates which other fields show on the form. To make this work you would do the following:

Assuming the field that will control the visibility of the other field is a Selection List (a drop down type control), decide which field(s) will be come and go based on the selected value.
In the Master Scema, for each of those fields, edit the field's properties and set a Condition.
Based on the examples below, enter a condition that fits the needs of your form.
Note: The variable name (e.g. customSelectList) must match the case (lowercase 'c' for custom).

Example display Conditions

form.data.isNew // Show the field only when the user is creating a request
 
!form.data.isNew // Show the field only when the user is *not* creating a request
 
form.data.isPrinting // Show the field only when the user is printing a reqeust
 
form.data.customSelectList1 === 'No' // Show the field only when the select list has a value of "No" selected
 
form.data.state !== 'Initial' // When the request is in the initial state, do not show the field
