I did it once but I can't duplicate it. How do I put a visibility region inside another visibility region. Each time I do it, it tried to overlap the current visibility region, adding another page to it. thank you

OK - here is "a way" to do it... not sure if there are other ways. I created a test form. I put 2 sections in it. Since visability areas like to add behind each other, I used sections as separate work areas until I was ready to copy visability B "into" visability A. I created visability A in section 1. I created visability B in section 2. Add everything you want into visability B, because once you copy it "into" visability A, you can no longer edit the contents of visability B (in my experience, maybe someone else here knows how).
I added a button, text, textbox to Each Visability area, for testing.
I then selected an item in visability B, and held the shift button down and hit the up-arrow twice. This selects first all the objects in visability B and then visability B itself. Drag it into Visability A. Should drop inside. If you mess up dragging the items and they pop all over, hold down the control key (Ctrl) and the Z key (this is undo). Youc an delete the second section once you are done with it.
If you need to edit visability B, you can highlight an item in it, hold the shift button down and hit the up-arrow twice, drag it outside somewhere and do your edits. Then repeat to add it back to visability A.
Let me know if this works for you.

If you are trying to edit a visability area that is placed alongside other form objects, you first have to move it to it's own line. Make your edits. Then move it back in place next to the form objects.
If this has helped solve your problem, give it a vote and/or check as solved next to the solution.

Sorry Beverly, I didn't quite understand the instructions, I did try it though. Unfortunately it didn't help me.

All right, I looked at this issue again. I discovered that the visability area (B) to be dragged into visability area (A) must have all its objects on one line. I have created a step-by-step example as an image jpg. I have uploaded it here. Click on the image, it will be too small at first. It can be zoomed by clicking the ( ) zoom icon, or if only (X) icon there, click that then the ( ) zoom icon should be displayed. To close it, hit the browser back button or click the (X) to close.
Good luck, let me know if this works for you now 🙂 - Beverly

that is an odd contingency however explains why I couldn't do it duplicate it, as I was trying to add something with multiple lines.
thanks again for responding and explaining.
