I'd like to create a list of embedded video links so that you will see a different video embedded in the form depending on the date.

    Also, I'd like to create a list of embedded video links so that you will see a different video embedded in the form depending on the date. How can I do this?

    You can embed a list of embedded video links on your form and then show/hide them conditionally based on the current date.

    To do this, you'd need a Date Field that is set to capture the current date and a paragraph the contains the Video links.

    Then conditionally show/hide them based on the date. Example:

    Here's a link to my demo form. Feel free to clone it to your account if you wish.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    I've tried this several different ways but the conditional show/hide feature doesn't seem to work. Can you look at my form and see what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

    Hello!

    I've checked your form and it seems to be working correctly - only one video is shown at a time and it's the right one according to the conditions:

    I have manipulated the date field to show different videos and all the conditions seem to be working correctly - is it not the case on your end?

    Or maybe you're looking for it to work differently altogether? If so, please describe the expected result.

    Awaiting your response,

    Thank you!

    Yes, I figured it out prior to you seeing it. The widget I was using can't be hidden in order to work, so I had to choose a different one that allows for the date to not be displayed on its own card but still allows the conditional behaviors. Thanks.

    Glad you figured it out. Thanks for sharing your workaround.
