Hi there,

I'm trying to apply multiple rules to hide a certain drop-down using CB Conditionals.

I have 2 drop-downs.

Drop-down 1 contains the following values:
[ ] (<- this is just an empty entry within the dropdown to keep it empty in case people don't want to select anything)
111
222
333
444
123456789

Drop-down 2 contains the following values:
[ ] (<- this is just an empty entry within the dropdown to keep it empty in case people don't want to select anything)
AAA
BBB

Now I would like drop-down 2 to NOT be displayed when within drop-down 1 [ ] or 123456789 are selected.


I tried two approaches:

1) Within field drop-down 1

I'm using the first 2 of the 5 tabs (tabs 1 to 5) within the "CB Conditional" tab to accomplish this, using "Field conditional others":

Tab 1:
If... Operator "Empty"
Then... Fields Hide "drop-down 2"

Tab 2:
If... Operator "Equal to"
To... Value "123456789"
Then... Fields Hide "drop-down 2"


2) Within field drop-down 2

I'm using the first 2 of the 5 tabs (tabs 1 to 5) within the "CB Conditional" tab to accomplish this, using "Field conditional self":

Tab 1:
If... Field "drop-down 1"
Is... Operator "Empty"
Then... Mode "Hide"

Tab 2:
If... Field "drop-down 1"
Is... Operator "Equal to"
To... Value "123456789"
Then... Mode "Hide"


The result in both cases is, that only one of the two rules works, meaning either drop-down 2 is not displayed when [ ] is selected OR when 123456789 is selected. But it never works for both cases.


What am I doing wrong?

I would be very thankful for some help on this one. Thank you very much!

Applying multiple conditions to the same tab or field isn't support to work. It's to allow a field to condition multiple fields or tabs however needed. If you condition a tab or field multiple times only the last condition applied will matter. This is because the conditions work independently. They are not aware of each other. Eventually there will be AND/OR type usage so you can have multiple conditions work together.

In most cases you'll want to use conditional self instead of conditional other to better avoid conflicts.
