    In conditions, it will be superb if the 3 blue functions; show/hide field, update/calculate field, enable/require field, could be combined. It will save a lot of time creating the condition. Does the Jotform Technical Team ever consider this option?

    Actually every functions in conditions should be able to combine in one condtion.

    Hello Wirongrong,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Sure, you can combine more than conditions together on your form. And they might be related to the same fields. But you should note that If there are multiple conditions and none of them are conflicting with each other, all conditions are executed when the condition is met; however, if there are conflicting conditions, the one which has been created the first is executed, but there’s no guarantee that it will always be executed in the order they were created. You can Clone this Demo Form and check it for the three blue conditions:

    I don't think you understand my point. You have 6 type of conditions.

    Hide/show

    Enable/disable or require/unrequire

    skip to page/hide page

    calculate/update fields

    change thank you page

    send email/change recipient

    Each one can be done separately. We cannot combine cross groups.

    For example: we have if conditions which may contain 10 field settings using all to match all and then do hide/unhide a set of fields (which again several) . We always requires those to be the compulsary fields, but we cannot just add action 'require multiple' in that same condition. We need to add new and re-do again 10 if fields with require action. Which is very annoying, since I have some conditions use more than 50 if clauses.

    Hi Wirongrong,

    Thanks for getting back to us. Unfortunately, the feature you're looking for isn't available at Jotform right now. We've gone ahead and escalated your request to our developers, but when or if it's developed depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users also request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding, we appreciate it.
