Conditional Drop Down Field

  • XavierCollegePrep
    Asked on June 21, 2019 at 12:53 PM

    Is there a way that we can only show some of the options from the multiple choice field based on another field?

    For example, if the grade field is listed as Pre-K, K or 1, then only the first two options of the multiple choice (Select the camp .....) will show up.

    Is that possible with conditional formatting?  If so, can you help me set it up or let me know of a workaround?

    Here is the link of the form I am working on.

    Thank you,

    Unfortunately, we are not able to change multiple choice field options via conditions. You need to create separate multiple choice fields for each option in the dropdown. After you can show the related multiple choice field according to the selected dropdown option.

    Is there a way to do two conditionals?

    For example, if the grade is prek,k,1, OR 2 AND they select week 1 then show optio A of dropdown fields?

    Yes, you can create this kind of composite conditions. You need to use update/calculate conditions. Conditional Drop Down Field Image 10Please look at these steps.
    1. We are not able to check multiple choice fields with conditions directly. Please collect the selected options into a form calculation widget to know which options are selected. Conditional Drop Down Field Image 21Do not forget to hide it.
    2. Please insert the multiple choice field into the form calculation widget. Please make sure the field is a string(brown - Step 2). Conditional Drop Down Field Image 323. I assumed the dropdown is "T-Shirt" field. Please create this condition to show the "Youth Large" option in "T-Shirt" dropdown if "Grade" is "1" and "Week 1" selected. Conditional Drop Down Field Image 43Conditional Drop Down Field Image 54
