Dynamic show/hide UI dialog elements

When trying to make a UI dialog more dynamic, we can currently use labels mapped to XSLT output to generate appropriate text for a partner.

E.g. a screen which can show Test, Prod, or both Test and Prod server details in one dialog. Or Inbound, Outbound, or both IB/OB file details.

Labels can be easily "hidden" by mapping blank text to them. So this approach works for simple text-based dialogs.

When the UI dialog includes other UI elements, such as text input fields and upload/download buttons, this does not work. We now have to create 3 separate versions of the same screen to handle each possible scenario.

Additionally, if the screens gather user input, then we have to add additional logic after them to be able to map values from the appropriate screen.

If there was a "Show/Hide" boolean attribute on UI elements that could be mapped from some XSLT value, we could collapse multiple UI dialogs back down to one UI dialog and reduce the additional logic required to handle them.

How will this idea be used?

This would be used to create dynamic dialogs that currently require multiple UI dialogs to achieve.

e.g. to allow a single UI dialog to handle showing/gathering "Test", "Prod", "Test and Prod" data. Which currently requires 3 separate dialogs. The separate dialogs increase maintenance time and troubleshooting time when a Sponsor views activity history.
