I have a radio field (preferences) with five options, lets say they are 1,2,3,4 and 5. I need to show a text field (Explain) if the user chooses 3 or 4. Can I set a condition on Preferences so that if the field is not equal to custom value 3 OR 4 hide field Explain?

Hi,
sorry there is a error in my previous reply, conditions should be:
1) if not equal to custom value 99 then hide field Explain (Inverse: No)
2) if equal to custom value 3 then show field Explain (Inverse: No)
3) if equal to custom value 4 then show field Explain (Inverse: No)

Why 99?
99 is a example, you can use a value that will be never selected. With this condition 1 will always met so condition 1 always hide Explain field

Will that also work for select fields?
Yes, but if you enable multivalue options then conditions should be:
1) if not equal to custom value 99 then hide field Explain (Inverse: No)
2) if contain custom value 3 then show field Explain (Inverse: No)
3) if contain custom value 4 then show field Explain (Inverse: No)




Another way of stating this would be:

If value X, then hide group A (inverse on) and show group Z
If value Y, then hide group B (inverse on) and show group Z
Something like this will not works, for example:

I choose value W (not X or Y)
Condition 1 will show group A and group Z (inverse effect)
Condition 2 will show group B and group Z (inverse effect)
Result: you will see group A, B and Z. But I think this is not the correct behavior.


Is adding an OR to the if conditions something on the road-map?
No sorry, OR is already possible.

Hi,
this is possible with 3 conditions:
1) if equal to custom value 99 then hide field Explain (Inverse: No)
2) if equal to custom value 3 then show field Explain (Inverse: No)
3) if equal to custom value 4 then show field Explain (Inverse: No)

Condition 1 will be always met, so it hide always field Explain.

For example

if the value is 3
- Condition 1 hide field Explain
- Condition 2 show field Explain
- Condition 3 will do nothing
Result: Explain field will be visible

if the value is 4
- Condition 1 hide field Explain
- Condition 2 will do nothin
- Condition 3 show field Explain
Result: Explain field will be visible

if the value is something else than 3 or 4
- Condition 1 hide field Explain
- Condition 2 will do nothin
- Condition 3 will do nothin
Result: Explain field will be hidden

Hello
I have a select field and want to do a similar thing. Please explain :

"if equal to custom value 99 then hide field Explain (Inverse: No)"

Why 99? Will that also work for select fields?

I my case I already have several conditions in place to hide field groups with 'Inverse Yes'. Working fine. Let's say values X and Y are hiding groups in this way.

Now I want to add in addition, "if value X or value Y then hide group Z (not referenced by the existing hide conditions).

Do I do exactly as above. three conditions, Inverse No, one referencing 99?

Another way of stating this would be:

If value X, then hide group A (inverse on) and show group Z
If value Y, then hide group B (inverse on) and show group Z

Is adding an OR to the if conditions something on the road-map?

Best wishes
