Dynamically change input fields based on values of other inputs

Hello,

I'm working on a dynamic value extension that outputs a date string with RFC 3339 format strings. I'd like to offer the ability to input custom strings as well as choose from a list of presets. I have a radio button to switch between the two options but I can't figure out a way to dynamically switch between a text entry input field and a dropdown. Where do I write the logic to change the input fields? I've attached my code below:

var moment = require("moment.js")

var inputFields = {
  "choiceRadioButtons": InputField(
    "format",
    "Format",
    "Radio",
    {
      "choices": {
        "radio-preset": "Preset",
        "radio-custom": "Custom"
      },
      "defaultValue": "radio-preset",
      "persisted": true
    }
  ),
  "presetDropdown": InputField(
    "cs",
    "Checksum",
    "Select",
    {
      "choices": {
        "iso": "ISO 8601"
      },
      "defaultValue": "md2",
      "persisted": true
    }
  ),
  "customStringField": InputField(
    "customString",
    "Custom String",
    "String"
  )
}

// Extensions are implemented as JavaScript classes
var StringFormattedDate = function() {
  // implement the evaluate() method to generate the dynamic value
  this.evaluate = function() {

    if(this.format == "radio-preset") {
      // set inputs to: [
      //   inputFields.choiceRadioButtons,
      //   inputFields.presetDropdown
      // ]
    } else if(this.format == "radio-custom") {
      // set inputs to: [
      //   inputFields.choiceRadioButtons,
      //   inputFields.customStringField
      // ]
    }
    return this.format

    // return moment().format(this.customString);
  }

}

StringFormattedDate.inputs = [
  inputFields.choiceRadioButtons
]

// set the Extension Identifier (must be same as the directory name)
StringFormattedDate.identifier = "com.prtmshk.StringFormattedDate";

// give a display name to your Dynamic Value
StringFormattedDate.title = "String Formatted Date";

// link to the Dynamic Value documentation
// StringFormattedDate.help = "https://luckymarmot.com/paw/doc/";

// call to register function is required
registerDynamicValueClass(StringFormattedDate)
