I’m trying to build something on my settings page similar to the Redudancy/Network Settings category.

 ![Enabled](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/2/d28be0209a15df7c65609fe8bd2aeff45b29848e.png)

I can set the enabled/disabled status of my text field (to test I’ve been using a validator), but how can I make it real-time interactive?

Here’s what I’ve got at the moment:

```auto
    public static final BooleanField UseDefaultDataPath = new BooleanField(META, "usedefault_data_path")
            .setDefault(true);
    public static final StringField DataPath = new StringField(META, "data_path")
            .setDefault("");

    static {
        UseDefaultDataPath.addValidator(new SValidatorI() {
            @Override
            public void onValidate(SFieldMeta sFieldMeta, SRecordInstance sRecordInstance) throws SException.Validation {
                if (sRecordInstance.getBoolean(UseDefaultDataPath)) {
                    DataPath.getFormMeta().setEnabled(false);
                } else {
                    DataPath.getFormMeta().setEnabled(true);
                }
            }
        });
    }

```

I'm pretty sure you'll have to use a custom `RecordEditForm` to include the methods a dynamic operation requires. It's Wicket. It's dying. (Gone in 8.3.) Nobody wants to touch it.

Ok I see, I was hoping anything more straighforward in 8.1 for this common usecase.

We have a React-based RecordEditForm alternative that's used in a few pages in the current 8.1 gateway, but as far as I know, it's not published anywhere, or if it is, there's no public usage examples, so good luck untangling _that_.

I would definitely recommend simply dropping the requirement for now.

Thanks for the clarification. It will stay as it.
