Custom fields with the showon attribute: a front end rendering temporary fix

Information
First published September 09, 2023

In Joomla 4.3 was introduced the possibility to dynamically show/hide custom fields depending on the values of others. This is done through the form option Showon Attribute.

However, when rendered in the front end of a site (or in an email for contact email fields), all values show, regardless of that attribute. This is an issue because, even though custom fields can be hidden from view, the values are still all recorded. Therefore right now we need a mechanism to hide those unwanted values.

Joomla 4 is catching up with the new (and not so new) web technologies, technologies that are now widely supported by most modern browsers. One of these techniques is Web Components.

The administrator console user interface has been greatly improved in Joomla! 4. Focus has been made on accessibility and mobile-first experience.
While moving my own extensions to Joomla 4, I dug into the differences in the look and feel of radio buttons and list fields to ensure they would have a cohesive look throughout.
