1. Navigate to 'Admin Center' > 'Manage Configuration UI';
2. Create New Object;
3. Select Base Object (for example Position);
4. Set up the fields for this object;
5. Create a UI Rule;
   
6. This rule has to account for all the options in the picklist;
7. Set your If Condition for hiding the fields, as per example below:
   
8. Set the 'Else If' condition for the fields you want to show as visibile and save it:
   
9. Navigate to the Parent Object, and edit the details;
10. Select the rule you just created in the 'onChange UI Rules' section > Click OK and save it;
    
11. Last you need to set this as the 'Default Screen' for the Object in 'Configure Object Definition' > Save Changes made;
    

Note: 

Please be aware if a field is being hidden via UI rule or field properties from the UI level - it will not take effect on the History panel showing change. If the field is hidden from the object level, then it works as expected.
