Hello everyone, We want the screen to automatically refresh when a specific property (of reference type) changes in the Create stage (the first step of a case type). The requirement is: when the user updates a particular property ( a reference type property which is linked to a data type and used to load a list) on the Create screen, some other fields should either become visible or be enabled/disabled based on that change. I have tried using the Form refresh setting but there only scalar property can only be refered. We are on pega version 24.2.4 @KamilJaneczek @MarcCheong Need your expert inputs here. Is there anything you can suggest. ---

Ideally, it should work for Embedded Pages using Form Refresh Settings. Also, you can dynamically enable the visible conditions based on your scenarios. ---

It is supported from '25 (see [https://docs.pega.com/bundle/platform/page/platform/release-notes/user-experience/constellation-25.html#cosmos-react-ref\_\_section\_zgv\_bx1\_mfc\_title](https://the%20release%20note)) ![image](https://pega1.discourse-cdn.com/pega/original/3X/2/2/2226c0ce833c3272b3b9be34b4bcb9291f004788.png) That said, I’m not sure you need Form Refresh settings. This should not be viewed as a catch all “action set” proxy. - **Visibility of fields of view** - works dynamically, so you can create a visibility condition to show/hide the fields you want dynamically - **Show additional details** - data and case references have “show additional details” (see [Pegasystems Documentation](https://docs.pega.com/bundle/platform/page/platform/user-experience/configuring-single-reference-field.html#ariaid-title3) ) If you can give more details on your current form and expected outcome, we may be able to figure out an interaction pattern / configuration that 24.2 supports. ---

Hello Cheong, Yes, you are correct. **Visibility of fields of view** - works dynamically, so you can create a visibility condition to show/hide the fields you want dynamically I have wrongly configured the when condition. After adjusting that, it worked fine. Thanks, for hinting that out.
