How to Show or Hide Fields Based on User's Answer

September 6, 2023

The Show/Hide Field conditional logic allows you to show or hide questions on your form depending on the user’s answer.

As an example, this demo form is configured to show a follow-up question to the “Would you like any dessert?” question if the answer is “Yes.”
