I want to show some specific fields when the value of a field is changed.

03/14/2023, 10:06 PMFor sure. You just get the field with record.getField then update the display type with field.updateDisplayType
Copy code
function updateFieldDisplayType(record, fieldName, displayType) {
var field = record.getField({
fieldId: fieldName
});
if (field) {
field.updateDisplayType({
displayType: displayType
});
}

03/14/2023, 10:07 PMIn your case you would have something like
Copy code
function fieldChanged(context) {
var record = context.currentRecord;
var fieldName = context.fieldId;
if (fieldName === 'custpage_field_to_update') {
updateFieldDisplayType(record, 'custpage_field_to_change_display', 'normal');
}

03/14/2023, 10:21 PMthe one thing to know is that the field has to start off normally displayed

03/14/2023, 10:36 PMI am trying using this code, but even the isDisplay property is true, the fields are not showed.
_for_(var i in arrFieldsToShow){
var field = _record.getField_({
fieldId : arrFieldsToShow[i]
});
_field._isDisplay = true;

03/14/2023, 10:46 PMShould it show as normal? Or does it also work if they are in-line or disabled?

03/15/2023, 8:19 AMFull control can be achieved by combination of:
UES/SL (hide it be default):
Copy code
field.updateDisplayType({
displayType : serverWidget.FieldDisplayType.NODISPLAY
}); Copy code
field.isDisplay = true;❤️ 1
