Dynamic Form rule not working in view mode

I am using a basic form rule (If checkbox = checked, then hide field).  The field I am hiding is a related field (not sure if that has any impact on my question).

When I am in edit mode, it hides the field as expected. In view mode, it becomes visible. I can't figure out what I am missing.

Do you by any chance have multiple forms on this table and have a form for edit and a form for view?

I have found the most success by using checkboxes to show fields rather than hide them. You set the exact conditions for when it should be shown on the form and then it is automatically hidden in every other scenario. I find that easier as I only have to think about the one condition rather than a bunch of cases where it should be hidden.

You probably are using a Proxy field in your drop down.  You should set the form rule to hide the proxy field.  ie there is a table of customers and the Proxy for Related Customer is set to Customer name.
