How to link radio input with text input in Simple XML?

Hi everyone,

I have created a search by Serial Number and a search by Purchase Order with two text inputs. I have also created a radio input with these two fields : "Serial Number" and "Purchase order".
I want to link the radio fields with the text input, meaning, when I click on "Serial Number" on the radio input, it should display the text input "Search by Serial Number". (Same thing for Purchase Order)
Here is my xml code:

<form>
  <label>table</label>
  <fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="false">
    <input type="text" token="serial_number_token" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Enter a SN</label>
      <default>*</default>
      <suffix></suffix>
    </input>
    <input type="text" token="purchase_order_token" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Enter a Purchase Order</label>
      <default>*</default>
      <suffix></suffix>
    </input>
    <input type="radio" token="field1">
      <choice value="Serial Number">Serial Number</choice>
      <choice value="Purchase Order">PO</choice>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>source="number.csv" "Serial Number"=$serial_number_token$ "Purchase Order"="$purchase_order_token$"</query>
          <earliest></earliest>
          <latest></latest>
        </search>

Could you please help me with that ?
Thanks !

Use this for your field set:

<fieldset autoRun="true" submitButton="false">
  <input type="radio" token="field1">
    <choice value="Serial Number">Serial Number</choice>
    <choice value="Purchase Order">PO</choice>
    <change>
      <condition value="Serial Number">
        <set token="SN">SN</set>
        <unset token="PO" />
        <set token="purchase_order_token">*</set>
      </condition>
      <condition value="Purchase Order">
        <set token="PO">PO</set>
        <unset token="SN" />
        <set token="serial_number_token">*</set>
      </condition>
    </change>
  </input>
   <input type="text" token="serial_number_token" searchWhenChanged="true" depends="$SN$">
     <label>Enter a SN</label>
     <default>*</default>
     <suffix></suffix>
   </input>
   <input type="text" token="purchase_order_token" searchWhenChanged="true" depends="$PO$">
     <label>Enter a Purchase Order</label>
     <default>*</default>
     <suffix></suffix>
   </input>
</fieldset>

This will only show the text field matching the radio selection, and set the other text field back to its asterisk default to make the search work as intended.
