Hi, I'm trying to display a field, based on a file field. If users actually upload a file, then display the field.
With the current configuration, the field is displayed when the user change the drop-down from "No change of file" to "Upload file". But doesn't ensure that the users actually uploads a file.
Is there a special configuration that I'm missing?
I have CB 1.9, latest conditional plugin, joomla 3.1.
Thank you.
I change the file field to required, and when I select a file the conditional doesn't work
Not Empty check won't work, it's never empty. You can check if it's Equal To 1 to determine if the dropdown has changed to upload, but it's still not going to know if they selected a file or not.

If you absolutely need a file uploaded then set the field as Required and don't bother conditioning off of it as it's always expected to have a value. No, CB Auto Actions can't help you with this.

I'm going to put a label asking users to upload a file, very interesting how conditionals work, when other fields depend on a "file field" and you don't upload a file but you change the dropdown and fields are displayed below, the information is not being saved.
I guess is something that can be added to the next release, but so far, it's working fantastic.
Thank you for the quick answers, I will use labels to indicate the users what to do.
