Hi Tim,

What I want to achieve is the following situation:

1) An author upload a document, and so he get the field "security" to ↵
be 
selected.

2) The field "Security" (which is a nameset field) contains a value 
called "Distribution List"

3) If the author select "Distribution List" I want the page to be ↵
reloaded and 
a text field called "List name" should appear, to be filled with a ↵
value.

I thought that the best way to do it was having some javascript on the select 
to reload the page and submit the value, and have in the workflow a condition 
that say 'only display the document field called "List name" if ↵
"security" is 
set to "Distribution List".

So I know that I should modify the InputForm/Upload.pm plugin....

Maybe another solution could be to use javascript simply to hide/unhide that 
field based on the selected value of "security"...

Any hint?

Thanks
Simone
