so I have a custom component which consists of lists of lists.  
and under the sublist, I have an input which is dynamic to the sibling input under the same hierarchy.

```auto
Builder.registerComponent(Counter, {
  name: "Counter",
  inputs: [
    {
      name: "counterName",
      type: 'text'
    },
    {
      name: 'initialCount',
      type: 'number'
    },
    {
      name: 'layout',
      type: 'html'
    },
    {
      name:'mylist',
      type:'list',
      subFields:[
        {
          name:"element",
          type:'string',
          enum:['hello','world']
        },
        {
          name:'sublist',
          type:'list',
          subFields:[
            {
              name:'subchildtext',
              enum:['hellochild','worldchild'],
              type:'string',

            },
            {
              name:'marks',
              type:'number',
              showIf:`options.get('subchildtext')==='hellochild'`,
              
            }
          ]
        }

      ],

    }
  ]
});

```

now I want to know if there is a way to make the “marks” to dynamically show on the basis of input that we have in field “element” rather than the field “subchildtext”
