Unable to hide/show field based on fetch data field

Unable to hide/show field based on fetch data field

I have two forms: New Request and Request Status.

In the New Request form, I have an AutoNumber field, then many other fields, including Request Type.

Staff members are to enter info into the New Request form, then based on their requests, an email is sent to the appropriate Purchasing Staff member.

Request Status is a stateless form, and I have the Puchasing Staff member entering the AutoNumber that they received from the New Request form email notification into this, which then auto-populates fields, including the Request Type field.

I am trying to get a field to hide/show based on what is auto-populated in the Request Type field but am having no luck. Is it because this is a Stateless form? I have tried everything I can think of an nothing is working.

Lots of thanks in advance!
