Conditional formatting has disappeared

    I had one form that I used with lots of conditional formatting. I made a backup clone of it earlier since I had some trouble with updating it previously.

    Now the same kind of problems occurred with the form I actually used. Almost all of the conditional formatting is missing in the editing section. The form still works, but I'm unable to edit it's conditional formatting.

    Hi, here's the form https://form.jotformeu.com/53585332216353

    There seems to be a bug also in copying a drop down menu item into text box. So this kind of conditioning doesn't work. Destination field stays empty. Conditional formatting has disappeared Image 1 Screenshot 20

    Hi there,

    Thanks for reporting this problem. As default all "Update/Calculate Field" operants are created as "math" operants resulting display of only number when used. You can overcome this issue by changing field operant to a "string" operator as shown below:

    Even though this is not a bug, i understand that this default behaviour can be confusing, thats why we will consider a better user experience pattern for this specific issue in our future development workflow. 

    If you need any further assistance please let us know, we would gladly help out. 

    Best regards.
