Hi,
I created a field "Interests" with 8 checkboxes values (last checkbox is "Others";).
I then created a text field "Other Interests".

I set the condition on field "Interest" as follow
Operator Equal
Compare with "Interest"
Custom value 8
Target "Other Interests"
target action Show

The gools are :

1.show "Other Interests" just if I click on last checkbox "Others"
2.do not list string "Others" among the text field filled of interests (ex. avoid: Run, Bike, Triathlon, Others)

none of the 2 points is working, could you advise?
Thanks!

No sorry this is not possible, but there is a bit complex workaround, try to follow these steps:

1) set "Interest" Field to now show on profile page

2) create first HTML delimiter field (to show interest without "Other Interests";):
- Show on registration:No
- Show on edit profile: No
- Show on profile: Yes
- Description (HTML editor):
{user interest displayed}


3) create second HTML delimiter field (to show interest with "Other Interests";):
- Show on registration:No
- Show on edit profile: No
- Show on profile: Yes
- Description (HTML editor):
{user interest displayed} ({user other_interest displayed})


4) set conditions on field "Other Interests":
Condition 1: if equal to custom value (leave empty custom value) show first HTML delimiter field
Condition 2: if not equal to custom value (leave empty custom value) show second HTML delimiter field

With this if user fill "Other Interests" field it will show on own profile second HTML delimiter with value like: Art, Music, Other (Dance)
Otherwise it will show on own profile first HTML delimiter with value like: Art, Music

{user interest displayed raw} will be replaced by value of Interests field
{user other_interest displayed} will be replaced by value of Other Interests field

Hi,
the problem is on parameter called "Compare with", this is useful when you want to compare value of current field (Interest) with another field, in your case correct value is "Custom Value"

you need to compare value of "Interest" field with Custom value "8"

Hi,
see screenshots

No you need to compare the value of this field "Interest" with a "Custom Value"

Now you compare field "Interest" with field "Interest"
