   I'm afraid there is no easy way to do this.
   You will need to modify pretty much of the front end and backend code to do this.

   I'm just wondering, what field type do you want to add?

   Hmm.. you can always modify includes/view-functions.php file for every display aspects.

   In your case, you will need to modify display_address() function to dynamically show/hide the state based on the form id.

   Ok, around line 1302, search for this block:

   <div class="right">
   	<input id="element_{$element->id}_4" name="element_{$element->id}_4" class="element text medium" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_4']['default_value']}" type="text">
   	<label for="element_{$element->id}_4">State / Province / Region</label>
   </div>

   
   Remove that block, and replace it with:

   {$state_markup}

   
   Now.. few lines above, around line 1283, you will find this line:

   $element_markup = <<<EOT
   
   Above that line add this block:

   $state_markup =<<<EOT
   <div class="right">
   	<input id="element_{$element->id}_4" name="element_{$element->id}_4" class="element text medium" value="{$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_4']['default_value']}" type="text">
   	<label for="element_{$element->id}_4">State / Province / Region</label>
   </div>
   EOT;
   
   $state_disabled = array(YOUR_FORM_ID);
   
   if(in_array($_REQUEST['id'],$state_disabled)){
   	$state_markup = '';
   }

   
   And you are done. Don't forget the replace YOUR_FORM_ID with your actual form id number. Like:
   $state_disabled = array(2);
   
   Or if you want to disable the state for few forms, you can use a comma, like this:
   $state_disabled = array(2,3,4);
   
   If those above sounds too difficult. Let me know.
   I'll help you with the modification.

   Hi Yuniar,
   I've tried this and it works well... but... if the address block is required in the form and you have hidden the State field, for instance, you won't be able to submit the form since it will keep telling you that you need to fill out the required fields.. but since you can't see the state field..

   Any ideas?

   Thanks!
   Hans

   BTW: great piece of software!

   Hi Hans,

   Try this, edit your includes/post-functions.php file.
   Around line 399 you will find this code:

   }elseif ('address' == $element_type){ //Address
   
   Few lines below that code, on line 420, you will find this code:

   $rules[$element_name_4]['required'] = true;
   
   remove this line and the state checking would be removed.

   Let me know if you have trouble.
