Enable chips input field

Function: Enable Chips Input Field​

This action allows you to make a "Chips Input Field" visible and interactive on your application's screen. When a Chips Input Field is enabled, users can add, remove, and manage "chips" (small, clickable tags or items) within that field. This is useful when you want to control when users can interact with specific input areas based on other actions or data in your application.

Input​

  • UI element: This is the specific "Chips Input Field" component on your page that you want to enable. You must select an existing Chips Input Field from your application's design.

Output​

This action does not produce a direct output value. Its effect is to change the state of the selected "Chips Input Field" on your application's user interface, making it interactive and ready for user input.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Example 1: Enabling a Tagging Field After Data Selection​

  • Scenario: You have a form where users first select a category from a dropdown. Only after a category is selected, you want them to be able to add tags related to that category using a Chips Input Field.
  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Tags for Product (This refers to the specific Chips Input Field component on your form named "Tags for Product").
  • Result: After the user selects a category, the "Tags for Product" Chips Input Field becomes active, allowing them to type in and add new tags.

Example 2: Re-enabling a Filter Field​

  • Scenario: On a dashboard, a "Filter by Keywords" Chips Input Field was temporarily disabled while a report was generating. Once the report is complete, you want to re-enable the filter so users can modify their search criteria.
  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Dashboard Keyword Filter (This refers to the specific Chips Input Field component on your dashboard named "Dashboard Keyword Filter").
  • Result: The "Dashboard Keyword Filter" Chips Input Field becomes interactive again, allowing users to add or remove keywords to refine their data view.

Example 3: Conditional Access to User Roles​

  • Scenario: In an admin panel, you have a "User Roles" Chips Input Field where you can assign multiple roles to a user. This field should only be editable if the current user has "Admin" privileges. If the user is an "Editor," the field should remain disabled.
  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Assign User Roles (This refers to the specific Chips Input Field component in your admin panel named "Assign User Roles").
  • Result: If the current user has the necessary "Admin" permissions, the "Assign User Roles" Chips Input Field becomes interactive, allowing an administrator to add or remove roles for a selected user.
