How can I create nested conditionals that re-hide fields when user backtracks...

Hi,

I have the following nested conditional set up:

Radio Field X:  Choose YES or NO

if Radio Field X is = YES, then show Radio Field A

-- if Radio Field A = yep, then show Text Field A-sub-1

-- if Radio Field A = nope, then do nothing

if Radio Field X = NO, then show Text Field B

It works, but there is a problem when the user backtracks. For example, the user sets Radio Field X = YES, (Radio Field A appears), the user sets Radio Field A = yep, (Text Field A-sub-1 appears), THEN the user changes his mind... he goes back to Radio Field X and set it to NO. Now the user sees both Text Field A-sub-1 and Text Field B. That's the problem. He should only see Text Field B. How do I re-hide Text Field A-sub-1 in this situation?

Thanks!

If I understood you correctly you are talking about radio button fields on page 4 of your form. So if on first radio button field option Yes is selected and on second field option Yes is also selected additional text box fields will shown. However if user changes his mind and select No option on first field additional text box fields are still shown, but they should be hidden. 

I have inspected your conditions and you to not have condition to hide those fields if option No is selected. You need to create condition to hide those fields is No is selected.

Thanks for your response. 

I solved the challenge in a different way. Here's how:

I changed the conditional on Radio Field A. Now the logic is as follows:

Radio Field X:  Choose YES or NO

if Radio Field X is = YES, then show Radio Field A

-- if Radio Field A = yep, AND Radio Field X = YES,  then show Text Field A-sub-1

-- if Radio Field A = nope, then do nothing

if Radio Field X = NO, then show Text Field B

Now it works perfectly. If the user sets Radio Field X to YES, then sets Radio Field A to yep, but then backtracks and re-sets Radio Field X to NO; then, the user only sees Text Field B. Perfect.

We are glad to hear that you were able to solve your issue, with different approach.
