    Hi Support

    Is there a feature where the form questions can be based on the previous question?

    So, whether the person answer yes or no to a question will dictate what the following question will be.

    We noticed Survey Monkey offers this feature and looking at . migrating over to their platform but hoping Jot Form also offers/can offer this so we can stay on :)


    Thank you

    In order to answer your question, I have cloned your form. You can set up "Conditions" if you want to create questions based on previous answers.

    You can use our "Show/Hide Field" if you want particular fields to be shown particular users based on their answers. You can do this by following these steps ;

    1 - You need to hide the field. Please go to "Properties" and click "Advanced". There you can find "Hide Field" button. You can later show this field depending on users' answer.

    2 - Please go to "Setting" and click on "Conditions". To show particular fields depending on previous answers, You can use "Show/Hide Fields" condition.

    This feature enables you to show or hide fields if particular conditions are met on previous questions. Therefore, you can hide subsequent fields if you form user answer your first question "Have you attended this event before" as "No". Similarly, you can show fields if they answer your first question as "Yes". To do that, you can follow these steps ;

    1 - Please click on "Show/Hide Field" button. 

    2 -  You can add your rules here and show other fields depending on the answer on first question. For instance, I have shown fields if the first question is answered as "Yes". If your users respond this question by "No", these fields will be hidden and they will be not able to see these questions.
