That is normal behavior.

- LauraThacker4 years agoQrew CaptainThis is a glitch that Quickbase are "aware" of since March... but have not fixed yet. I submitted this and this is the response Quickbase have given me:
"I've gone ahead and tied this case to the current escalation/Bug ID:QBE012001. An escalation is how we track problems and bugs that are being worked on. You will be notified automatically once we have an update on the status of this escalation or when a fix is released."

I didn't seem to find the "Fix" to this in the posts I looked at so I thought I'd provide some Intell/Obervations/My fix here.
My Use Case:Section 1
Element1, Element2
Section 2
Lots of Elements
Section 3
5 Checkboxes
5 Tabs
Varying # of elements per [Tab]
_______________________
Problem Was:
In "Add" mode, & edit if I specific conditions occurred, the following occurred.
Tab1 elements were always visible, even though form rule1 was:
When chkbox1 = checked Show [Tab1] - In "Add" all fields are blank (Unchecked). In theory, that rule should supersede the [Tab1] "clicked open" default behavior mentioned by Mark Shnier. That default behavior is clearly not limited to [Tab1] as posted by Sherry Blackburn. I can confirm the 1st 2 [Tabs] exhibit this behavior (Glitch1)
The ONLY fix to having all elements for Tabs exceeding 2 is to write rules that Show every element in the [Tab].
In my case, and perhaps for others, I don't want [Tab1] to be shown by default when the form was opened in "Add", or edit if the project [Form] was not truly going to be started (i.e. Only a proof of concept project).
In order for no [Tabs] to be shown by default, I created a new [Tab1] that has no Label and created a rule that would never evaluate as True. Referencing the top of this post that looks like this:
In Section1
When
multiple conditions are true
All
Element1 is equal to blank
Element1 is not equal to blank
Show [Tab] (This is now Tab1.
My guess is the function that controls the creation/displaying/setting focus to [Tabs] has code that limits those behaviors.
Hope this helps someone and provides some intell on what's goiung on with Tabs.

If you only have one tab and try to hide it then the name of the tab will be hidden but the underlying elements will appear. I'd recommend creating another tab, and then I think you can hide both.
