I am using Airtable as the underlying data source.

Effectively, I have a date field, ‘Applied for Role’; once a user adds a date, this field is set to hide (using visibility settings). This works briefly, and the value is added, but after 5 - 10 seconds, the date field reappears empty and doesn’t actually pass through the value to Airtable underneath. I tested removing the visibility setting so the date always shows, and this works fine; the date stays and gets passed through to Airtable.

Effectively this means we’re not able to dynamically display date fields based on the data that’s completed, i.e. if X date is completed, show Y date, but hide X.

I will send you a loom video over chat to demonstrate.
