A loan application Adaptive Form has three interacting behaviors: (a) a visibility rule hides the co-applicant panel unless marital status is Married; (b) a calculate script sums incomes only when the co-applicant panel is visible; (c) a validate script on the co-applicant income field requires a value when the panel is visible. Testers find that changing marital status from Married to Single leaves the co-applicant income in the total, and that submitting sometimes throws a validation error for a hidden field.
