??? How do we use new ftr: Class in Display Rule

Jaymer

per Changelog for 8.4:
Arbitrary CSS styles can now be used in item display rules

I can't seem to get this to work.
On this screen, lets say I want to add a presentation STYLE rule.
Using the default mechanism, I can set a foreground, background, etc.
But I should be able to add a class, right?

the top input field builds a Style.
Whats the syntax to make this be a class?
-> class="myClass"
-> myClass
-> .myClass

have tried many ways. Buy "myClass" never shows up in the browser Inspector.

Even though this is not labeled "Display Rules", its now called "Presentation rules" on a Form Field (a recent 8.3 change where several styling areas were merged into this new property dialog) and uses the same/similar dialog, so I'm assuming that if you can set a Item Display Rule on a Query to a CLASS, then you could also use a CLASS for a style here.

The CSS Style in this configuration form is altering the "style" attribute of the associate HTML element. "class" is different attribute of an HTML element. See below.

Similar to changing the tabindex in your other post, you could add a css class via jQuery in the render script of the form.

$("input[id*='fLastBillDate']").addClass('myClass');

Yes, but the purpose of this post is to figure out how to use a new feature that aware advertised.
In the example where I wanted to indicate to a user that these calculated fields were not changeable, the way I ended up doing that was to use a presentation rule to make the field gray.
So using aware’s dialog box, I had to manually set the background pattern to #e8e8e8, for example.
And then I changed the next field.
And then I changed the next field.
And then I said, what if the user doesn’t like the gray, I’m gonna have to come back and change all of these individually to a different color.
Wouldn’t this be nice to have it in a class?
Oh, didn’t I see this in a new feature recently?

So that’s why I’m trying to get some clarification from support on exactly how to use this.
