my form will not allow me to creat a show/hide field for a certain drop down text.

Could you let us know the form that you want to create the condition on drop down fields. As I check your last edited JotForm I don't see any drop down fields on the JotForm.

Please refer to the guide below that can help you in setting up conditions to show or hide fields

If you need any further assistance, please let us know. We will be happy to help.

Thanks!!
