Will it affect my existing Skip to/ Hide Page conditions if I re-order pages?

    Asked on April 26, 2024 at 2:19 PM

    I've got a very complex form that I'm finishing - 18 pages long with about 130 conditions.

    I am considering changing the order of some of these pages, however want to be very clear about how it will impact my conditions. In the following example:

    1. If I moved existing pages 12 & 13 forward to become the new pages 7 & 8
    2. That would make the pages that started as 7 to 11, now be +2 as they shift to the right.
    3. As a result, will conditional logic to hide and skip to pages update automatically? Or will they all break and need to be re-worked individually with the new page numbers?

    Thank you!

    Hi ConnexPay,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I cloned your form and tried to make the changes you mentioned. After investigating, I found that while the Skip to/ Hide page conditions remain intact when pages are reordered, they do not automatically update to reflect the new page numbers. This means you will need to manually adjust these conditions to ensure they correspond with the new page numbers and structure of the form.

    For example, if a condition originally hides page 12, and page 12 is now page 7, you'll need to edit the condition to hide page 7 instead. Take a look at the screenshots below to see how the conditions remains the same:

    The first screenshot is a clone version of your form without any changes for my reference.

    Reach out again if you have any other questions.
