    Hello,

    is it possible to create a form with conditional content from a source like an external list or a hiden form page or from a hidden list?

    Best,
    INTERKULTUR

    Hi Ian,

    we want to compare single content fields from a external or hidden table by the conditional logic.

    Example:

    1. page: The user chose a country.

    (We have a table with two columns, one with the country and one with a pricing group number.)

    If the user chose a country, the conditional logic should be compare the country and the pricing group. Then the conditional logic should skip to another form page depending of the chosen pricing group number.

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to include an external source in the form. 

    You will need to manually create each condition and the fields you need to compare need to be fixed in the conditions statement. 

    Here's a guide that will help you to skip to a page based on conditions: https://www.jotform.com/help/350-How-to-Skip-Pages-Using-Conditional-Logic 

    You can also get the form's source code and add your custom script to achieve this, this guide will help you to get the source code: https://www.jotform.com/help/104-How-to-get-the-Full-Source-Code-of-your-Form 

    Hope this helps.
