Form Builder Conditional Components

Conditional Components

The conditional component requires an API key to be configured to function correctly.

Form components directly translate to a resource property on the API that is generated for the form. By default a property name is generated by camel casing the field title. You can change the property name by going to the API tab in the form component settings.





Any form component can use conditional logic to determine when to hide or display itself. The settings for a conditional field, are configured on the component itself, and can be found by viewing the Conditional tab within the components settings.

The conditional logic is based on the following rules:

Each field can hide or display.
The visibility is dependent on another component defined within the form.
The logic is activated when the configured field contains the plaintext value defined in the settings.



In addition to Simple Conditional logic, you can also use Advanced Conditional logic, which uses actual JavaScript for any combination of conditions.

JavaScript conditional logic requires you to set the value of show to either true or false. You have access to the current value of any form component via the data object, and the components API key. Advanced Conditional logic will only work, if Simple Conditional logic isn’t already defined.



When using Advanced Conditional logic with the select boxes form component, you must use the following syntax to get the value of the select box, which will always be true or false, depending on if it is checked or not: data.selectbox\_component.selectbox\_value
