    Project_name.setVisible(true);

} else { // If no option of Project_category is picked, set Project_name and the Label widget Not Visible
    Project_name.setVisible(false);

    Year.setVisible(true);
    this.options.form.getWidgetByName("label5").setVisible(true);
}

    Year.setVisible(false);
    this.options.form.getWidgetByName("label5").setVisible(false);
