I want to give 2 different rule effects on the element. Let’s say in the following UI schema subCategory will be visible when the category length is more than 3 letters, once this condition is satisfied and subCategory is visible than I want to apply DISABLE effect on subCategory. { “type”: “Control”, “scope”: “#/properties/subCategory”, “rule”: { “effect”: “SHOW”, “condition”: { “scope”: “#/properties/category”, “schema”: { “type”: “string”, “minLength”: 3 } } } } _[[original thread](https://spectrum.chat/jsonforms/general/how-to-give-multiple-rule-effects-on-the-element~3369d36e-9b11-4739-8b54-dc27e7667666) by Harshita Jaiswal]_ ---

Hi @jharshita, thanks for your question! Currently you can only apply a single rule to each element. As a workaround you could wrap the control into `VerticalLayout` and apply the second rule to this element. Visually this should look the same. ---

Hi, I assume this would work for AND conditions, but is there any similar solution for OR conditions? Like, I want to show field when “#/properties/subCategory” has certain value or “#/properties/category” has certain value ---

Hi @nikola, The [rule support can handle arbitrary schemas](https://jsonforms.io/docs/uischema/rules), so you could for example use a `oneOf` construct for an or condition. ---

Hi @sdirix thanks, I managed to get it working with ```auto "scope": "#", "schema": { "anyOf": [ { "type": "object", "properties": { "hasPromoCode": { "const": "yes" } }, "required": ["hasPromoCode"] }, ...[second element condition] ``` But I’m having problems with nested structures, where 2 relevant elements don’t have same parent, like for example `#/properties/firstContainer/properties/hasPromoCode` and `#/properties/secondContainer/properties/hasSomethingElse`. I tried to get it working with ```auto "scope": "#", "schema": { "anyOf": [ { "type": "object", "properties": { "type": "object", "firstContainer": { "type": "object", "properties": { "hasPromoCode": { "const": "yes" } }, "required": ["hasPromoCode"] } } } ] ``` but I keep getting `Error: strict mode: unknown keyword: "0"` in the console ---

Hi @nikola, Glad that you managed to get it working! > [@nikola](#): > > but I keep getting `Error: strict mode: unknown keyword: "0"` in the console I’m not sure where this is coming from. We use the same AJV instance form-wide and there we [disable strict mode](https://github.com/eclipsesource/jsonforms/blob/a5fdca6fb6afa9820eabe8051401785675f53ad7/packages/core/src/util/validator.ts#L33). Do you hand in a custom AJV instance? Note that your schema seems to be malformed as there is one `"type": "object"` too many. As `"object"` is not a valid schema for the property `type` maybe the error stems from that. ---

Hi @sdirix thanks! It was indeed my instance of ajv which was causing issues. It was set to ```auto Ajv({ allErrors: true, strictSchema: true, strict: true }) ``` By removing `strict: true` , everything works as it should and some other weird schema-structure related errors are gone. This is my final working solution: ```auto "rule": { "effect": "SHOW", "condition": { "scope": "#", "schema": { "anyOf": [ { "properties": { "firstContainer": { "properties": { "hasPromoCode": { "const": "yes" } }, "required": [ "hasPromoCode" ] } } }, { "properties": { "secondContainer": { "properties": { "hasSomethingElse": { "const": "yes" } }, "required": [ "hasSomethingElse" ] } } } ] } } } ``` ---

When you create a custom AJV instance you might want to use `createAjv` exported from `@jsonforms/core` as it already sets the AJV options as we need them in JSON Forms. The method also takes in a parameter to set additional options if you need them.
