My question to the community, is it possible to have fields be automatically created based upon certain criteria? Right now, in my template I have to create the fields and then determine when they are visible based on a certain criteria. I would rather the field actually be created when the criteria is met instead of having to create a 100 redundant fields. For example, I have Row A with 5 fields once all 5 fields have been filled, Row B is created with the same 5 fields that would need to be filled out before Row C can be generated.

Hi Anthony,
Maybe you should "redesign" your data.
I understand you have an item type "Template". These Templates can hold a volatile number of other certain data sets you would call "Row a" or "Row B" containing "identical" 5 fields.
How About this:

Hi Anthony,
As far as I have seen, Integrity does not have the ability to dynamically create new fields, it can only show or hide existing fields. Creating a new field alters the structure of the backend database, so it would be a performance hit if users were able to create them on the fly.
You might be able to get similar functionality using triggers, but I would recommend opening a support ticket to get recommendations more tailored to your specific situation.
Hope that helps,
Matt

This is certainly the approach I would have recommended if this were a support ticket.
If the process for doing this is unclear, then as Matt suggested, please contact PTC Integrity Support for more information.
