[SOLVED] Help with 3 option conditional

I am wanting to use a conditional for a field with 3 options

Based on user selection, A second field will or will not display. Below are the rules I am trying to implement

If a User selects Option 1 Field 2 will not display

If a User selects Option 2 Field 2 will display

If a User selects Option 3 Field 2 will display


I am currently only getting this this work if a user selects Option 2. I tried with 4 conditionals for the 2nd and 3rd option, only one option would work correctly.


I set this up according to the following conditional for Field 1

Conditional 1
Display: Field conditional others

Operator: Equal to

Value: Option 2

Then... Fields Show: Field 2


Conditional 2
Display: Field conditional others

Operator: Not Equal to

Value: Option 2

Then... Fields Hide: Field 2

You can not condition a field more than once. To accomplish what you're wanting with 1 condition you'd use the below by adding the condition directly to the field you want conditioned.

Display: Field conditional self
Field: YOUR_FIELD_HERE
Operator: Is REGEX
Value: /OPTION_2|OPTION_3/
Translate Value: No
Mode: Show

The only reason for the 5 condition tabs was per request of a user who was heavily using Conditional Others, which will be removed in a later release when AND/OR usage is implemented. So I do not recommend using Conditional Others unless you need to mass-condition a large amount of fields at once.

I want to provide a drop-down selector for clients to select from a predetermined list and the switch various tabs related to the values - is this possible by adding more than 1 value into the conditional "To" area - for example the vaues I am using are IA03 or IA08 or IA09? I have tried various options listed in the documentation with no success as yet...
If this is not possible then what would you recommend I do?

If you want a condition to match multiple values of a field you do exactly as I've instructed above. So in your case you'd have the below.

Display: Field conditional self
Field: YOUR_FIELD_HERE
Operator: Is REGEX
Value: /IA03|IA08|IA09/
Translate Value: No
Mode: Show

Thank you - this works perfectly! Its not too clear in the documentation...

It'll be a lot easier with CB Conditional 5.0.0 since AND/OR usages will be supported. You can take a look at what to expect for condition configuration in CB Conditional 5.0.0 below.
