Hi @prince_123_kumar,

Rules should work for nested arrays as they do for all other UI Schema elements. Note that you can’t hide/show/enable/disable array cells because we don’t even support defining rules for them in the UI Schema.

@sdirix Thanks Stefan for your reply. But i think it’s not working for me… Can you suggest me with a small example.  
I am posting a small code here , i want to HIDE school\_address (which is inside array nested level )on selection of MAK from student dropdown ( which is on top).

Hi @prince_123_kumar,

Sadly that is not possible with the off-the-shelf renderers at the moment. Currently we only allow to specify scoped UI Schemas for details like objects and arrays. So every `scope` within that detailed UI Schema can only be resolved within the `address` object.

We already had the discussion in issue [#2094](https://github.com/eclipsesource/jsonforms/issues/2094). It would be possible to add support for outside resolving in JSON Forms, it just needs to be implemented.

If you or someone else would like to make a contribution then you are very welcomed.

Note that if you implement custom renderers, then you can of course already support this today.
