Workaround for Dynamic Rules limitation?

Is there any workaround to do away with the Dynamic Rules limitation?? Currently it is set to 20 formula/derived fields.

I am trying to show/hide fields using dynamic rules. But hitting this limitation of 20 derived fields. Can I achieve the same using a javascript or any other way?

Any help is appreciated.

    Yes you can do this with javascript and can contact me if you want help with that. However if you haven't tried using form rules to hide and show sections and group fields if you can in those section if a condition applies to multiple fields then it should work for you. But can definitely do a lot with javascript. chuck@chuck.support

    I'd recommend that you put the same logic into a formula checkbox.  So you can all sorts of conditions and just make it a simple true (show) and false (hide). 

    When it comes to speed, formula checkboxes are much faster than dynamic form rules.

    So just dissect your form rule, and make it into one or a few formula checkboxes.
