Please advise:
1) dropdown field with values 1,2,3
2) description fields (desc1,desc2,desc3)
Goal:
a) if value is empty: hide all description fields
b) if value is 1: show desc1 (don't show 2 and 3)
c) if value is 2: show desc1 and desc2 (don't show 3)
d) if value is 3: show all desc1,2 and 3
~~~
so I set the conditional on dropdown filed:
display: field conditional others
in tab 1: operator = empty
then fields:
show (nothing)
hide: desc1,desc2,desc3
in tab 2: operator = 1
then fields: show desc1
hide: desc2,desc3
in tab 3: operator = 2
then fields: show desc1, desc2
hide: desc3
in tab 4: operator = 3
then fields: show desc1, desc2, desc3
hide: (nothing)
~~~
results: only when selecting 3 desc1,2,3 shows up - when selecting 1 or 2, or nothing, nothing is displayed
How do I fix it?
thanks
I think I answered that question for myself already
instead of using conditions on dropdown field (as to others) I should be using the conditions on individual fields (desc1,2,3) as to self and hide if value is greater than or equal (value)
ex: to show desc 1 = the value is greater than or equal 1; desc2 = greater or equal 2, etc.
~~~
devil's advocate question: can my initial logic work? to apply all conditions in one field instead of individual conditions on each? (f you have i.e. group of fields (let say 3 or more) for each case, than it could be easier=faster? to do that in one place... - just a thought)
Conditional Others or Tab Conditions are the way to go for mass conditioning multiple fields. The "gotcha" is a field can only be conditioned once, ever. If you condition a field more than once then only the last condition applied matters. There is currently no AND/OR logic implemented (it's planned) and all conditions act independent of one another. So in your case you really will want to use Conditional Self based off your A > B > C structure using Is REGEX with a REGEXP or the greater than or equal to usage.
