Why conditionality to enable is not working?

    Asked on March 15, 2018 at 1:14 PM

    On the nursing CAP documentation submission form, I added a  conditionality to enable "My nursing cap portfolio is complete" if Level 1 is selected on the Member information tab AND Total Points accumulated from Part A and Part B is greater than 6. On screenshot below the total points is 11 and I have selected Level 1 this should enable this field but it is not?

    I checked your form but I didn't see any condition that will check if "Total Points Accumulated Part A + Part B Requirements" is greater than 6?



    You should have something like this:

    That will check the "My Nursing CAP portfolio is complete." field when the result is more than 6.

    If that is what you had in mind?

    This is the conditionality I have. It is based on enable. Do I have to use Calculation conditionality? The field My nursing cap portfolio is complete is not a numeric value

    I'm sorry for the misunderstanding, I understand now, please disregard my previous reply.

    That condition is not working since there are three conditions there:

    Since all three conditions are checking if total is greater than certain value: 6, 13, 20, you could simply set one condition that will check if the total is greater then 6, that will cover them all.

    That should work for your according to my tests.

    You could just set another condition that will check the level as well.

    Let us know if that could work for you.

    Thank you!

    I tried to differentiate it by levels. So if Level 1 it should be greater than 6, if level 2 it should be greater than 13, if level 3 it should be greater than 20. Is it possible to do this?

    Enable function in the condition works differently. What it does is it enables the disabled field. The condition is correct but you will have to pre-select the "Yes" option and set the "My nursing cap portfolio is complete" field to "Yes" by default.

    I'll clone your form and make a sample and let you know via this thread once done. Thank you for your patience.

    I made a revision to your form's condition (cloned version). Since the levels (1,2 and 3) will always enable the "My nursing cap portfolio is complete" field, I made a separate condition for that field.

    You can check the cloned version of the form here https://form.jotform.com/80737753741968. Feel free to clone it if you want https://www.jotform.com/help/42-How-to-Clone-an-Existing-Form-from-a-URL

    Thanks but the cloned version also did not work.

    I tested the form my colleague provided you and I also noticed that the conditions are not working properly when I selected Level 2. 

    To resolve this issue I would suggest you another approach. Add one more calculation field to your form and set the calculation in a new field like this.

    Then set your condition based on the result of the new field, like this.

    Feel free to test it and clone it


    Hope this helps to solve the issue.
