[SOLVED] Need help with conditional field and multiforms

Hi:
I am trying to set up 3 different forms with the conditional field.

Total fields: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

Form A: 1 3 5 7 8 9 12
Form B: 1 3 5 7 8 9 14
Form C: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13

I used the conditional field (0) as a drop down (single select) with 3 options Form A, B, C.
Pre-filled default: Select (so is not empty)

In the conditional box I set:

Tab1 : Field conditional to others Is REGEX /^[A]*$/i hide (opposite to Form A fields)
Tab2 : Field conditional to others Is REGEX /^*$/i hide (opposite to Form B fields)
Tab3 : Field conditional to others Is REGEX /^[C]*$/i hide (opposite to Form C fields)
Worked fine for Form A and C but when I set B, form A started showing the same as C.

Not sure if the conditional field is the right way to do it or i am doing it wrong...

I want to achieve something similar to your demo site form of CBsubs, but this is going to be free access.

Also planning to add some Auto Actions to required approval for some of them and assign different access level groups.

I´d need some help with the forms please!!

The multiple conditions are always OR cases. If your field is a single select drop-down then don't use REGEX matching, but instead do simple Equal To. Example as follows.

1: Field conditional to others Is Equal To Form A Then Show: 1 3 5 7 8 9 12
2: Field conditional to others Is Equal To Form B Then Show: 1 3 5 7 8 9 14
3: Field conditional to others Is Equal To Form C Then Show: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13

Believe the above should do the trick. Of course with the above change the value matched to be exactly to what the value is for your drop-down select.

I appreciate your help but it didn’t work either.
I had tried with different conditions but always the same result, mixed form fields.

Anyway I found a way around: is setting the conditions in each field related instead of setting them up in a master field. Takes more time but is working so far.

Ex:

Field conditional self
If field 0 is operator equal to value "Form A" hide/show.

Thanks for the clue anyway. Appreciate that you spent the time to answer.

Yeah, sometimes is best to have the condition directly on the field in question. Multiple conditions are always "OR" scenarios so they can conflict if they multiple conditions condition the same fields.

I have another question that you may help me with, related to this post (let me know if I should create a new post for it):

How do I manage the different profiles?

Ex:
Form A and B have less fields than From C. So when the user registers is ok, but when a Form A user edit his profile all the other fields show up and if he does not filed them the changes in the profiles can´t be saved.

As I said these users are going to be in different access groups, so is there any way to create and assign this different fields profiles to separated user groups?

Conditions should also be affecting profile edit unless you set it not to (see the Display at bottom of condition and list of locations for it to affect).

You can place the fields in a tab that is based off view accesslevels and creating custom view accesslevels based off your usergorups, but this won't have any affect on registration.
