I’m very new to corvid and am having a problem.
I want a button and a box to appear if a value in a radiobutton group has been checked.
If it is not checked (ie the other one is, I want a different button to appear).
I have ensured that I have entered the datavalue not the data label and reproduce my code below but it doesn’t work.
Any help very gratefully received.

You need to add paranthesis:
.show ();

Hi, knight.maidstone.

To add to what J.D. said, show is a method and, as a result, you need to include a set of parentheses after it. Conversely, value is property and, as a result, you do NOT include parentheses after it.

So, remember:

  1. No parentheses after a property name
  2. Parentheses after a method name

Hi, knight.maidstone.

In addition, you may have a misspelling in your 2nd condition; if that’s the case, then the 1st condition is duplicated and you could consolidate your code down to the following:

if ($w('#Paying').value === 'someoneElse') {
    $w('#GoToPayment').show();
    $w('#Who').show();
} else {
   $w('#SubmitForm').show();
}

I also employed camelCase notation in your string to make it easier to read; you would, of course, have to adjust your string elsewhere in your code.
