How to hide and show a tab in Dynamics 365 based on a field value

A sample function on how you can show and hide a tab based on a Yes/No field in Dynamics 365. To use the script create a new script or add the function to an already existing web resource and add it to the forms on load event and the on change event on the field.

function HideOrShowSection(executionContext) {
    const formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
    let displaySection = formContext.getAttribute("fe_displaysection").getValue();

    if (displaySection == true) {
        formContext.ui.tabs.get("fe_hide_show_tab").setVisible(true);
    } else {
        formContext.ui.tabs.get("fe_hide_show_tab").setVisible(false);
    }
}

Add an on change event on a Yes/No and on form load to hide or show based on the value in the field when the row is loaded. Example on how it looks to add to the different events in Power Platform admin center.
