Hi Jeremiah,
the show_if hides the whole row as it applies a display:none to it.
In the custom forms we can only access individual components, not the whole
row (AFAIK).
But, you can get it work by including an element with the same id as the
row that is being hidden, e.g.
<div id="news_link__row">Link: {{=form.custom.widget.link}}<br></div>
Denes.
