Field logic

You can configure field logic on a form to show or hide upcoming form sections based on a form-taker's previous selection.

Warning: The first selection set must be placed within a General Section. If it's placed within a Membership or Event Section — even though this may appear as a selectable option in the second selection set — field logic won't direct the form-taker to your hidden section.

To add field logic

Add a Selection Set field to your form. This can be a custom attribute or form field, and it must come before the hidden field. Field logic applies to each field individually, not to an entire section. For more information on adding and configuring form elements, see Creating and configuring forms.

In the example below, the selection set is the Do you have dietary restrictions? field. The hidden field is the If yes, please explain. text field. This field should only display if a form-taker selects Yes in the selection set field.

A selection set field asking about dietary restrictions with a hidden text field for an explanation

Select the field you want to impact — the hidden field. In this example, that's the If yes, please explain. text field. Toggle ON Enable field Logic, then select Edit Field Logic.

Warning: If you toggle ON Enable field logic but don't make any selections, your form won't function properly — it will attempt to find field logic that isn't actually set up, which can cause errors. Make sure you finish setting up field logic, and select Save to confirm your configuration.

The Field Logic window with Yes selected as the triggering value

Since Yes is selected in the Field Logic window, the If yes, please explain. text field only displays if a form-taker selects Yes in the Do you have dietary restrictions? selection set field. If they select No, this field doesn't display, and the form-taker can proceed through the form as normal.
