Entities – Conditional Fields Based on Country (Standard Field Conditioning)

DiliTrust Legal Entity Management (LEM) now supports conditional logic based on standard fields. Starting with the Country field, administrators can configure child fields that appear or hide depending on the country selected for a legal entity — making data entry smarter, cleaner, and more relevant.

✅ Introduction

Every country has its own legal requirements, regulatory bodies, and data fields. When configuring a legal entity, it makes little sense to show fields relevant only to French companies when you are registering a US subsidiary, and vice versa.

DiliTrust LEM already supported conditional logic on custom list fields. With this enhancement, that same powerful conditioning capability now applies to standard fields — starting with the Country field, which is the most impactful for modeling diverse entity structures.

✋ Prerequisites / Getting Started

• You must have an administrator role in DiliTrust LEM to configure conditional fields.
• Familiarity with your organization's entity data model is helpful before setting up conditions.

⭐ Step-by-Step Guide

1. Navigate to LEM Settings and open the Entity Configuration section.
2. Select the entity type you wish to configure (e.g., Company).
3. Locate the Country standard field in the field list.
4. Click on Set Conditions or the conditioning icon next to the Country field.
5. For each country value (e.g., France, United States, Germany), define which child fields should appear when that country is selected.
6. Save your configuration. The conditional logic will now apply whenever a user creates or edits an entity of that type.

✨ Tips & Best Practices

• Model by jurisdiction: Group your country-specific fields by legal requirement (e.g., SIRET number for France, EIN for the USA, Company House number for the UK).
• Keep it clean: Only show fields that are truly relevant for each country. Avoid displaying optional fields that clutter the form for users in other jurisdictions.
• Test before deploying: Create a test entity and verify that the correct fields appear for each country before rolling out the configuration to all users.

❌ Limitations & Known Constraints

• In this first version, conditioning is only supported on the Country standard field. Other standard fields (Legal Forms, Currencies, Mandate Position, etc.) are not yet supported for conditioning.
• This feature applies to entity creation and editing screens. It does not affect existing data already saved in the system.

❓ FAQ

Which standard fields support conditioning?

In this version, only the Country field supports conditional child fields. Additional standard fields may be added in future iterations.

Can I configure conditions for custom fields too?

Yes. Conditional logic for custom list fields was already available before this enhancement. This feature extends that capability to the Country standard field.

Will existing entity records be affected?

No. Conditional field configuration only affects the display of fields during creation and editing. Existing data is not modified.

What happens to a field that was previously visible but is now conditionally hidden?

If a field is hidden by a condition, its value is preserved in the database — it simply does not appear on the form. No data is deleted.
