Hey ​@KR956, I’m not sure I am 100% following but you will probably want to take a look at the visibility rules set for the fields that are being conditionally shown on your form. See screenshot below.
 

 
Is this helpful? Otherwise please provide further detail!

Hmm, I’m not sure. Let me provide an example to illustrate what I’m looking for (with the note that I don’t know if it exists or is possible but I’m hopeful).

Let’s say the multiple line box only appears in the following circumstance

• When Question 1 has been checked, or
• When Question 2 had A, C, and E selected, or
• When Question 3 was selected as high priority

The multiple line box could appear if one or more of these conditions were met. I would like a note to appear that says “This box has appeared because Question 3 is high priority” (if that’s the reason why it appeared), or “This box has appeared because Question 2 had C selected and Question 3 is high priority” (again, if that’s the reason why it appeared). To help my teammates understand why they are needing to fill out the multiple line box.

Does that make sense? Is this logic too complex for Airtable forms? I know they are fairly straightforward.

Jumping in on ​@Mike_AutomaticN’s thread here!

If you look in the right margin, you have the option to enable “helper text”, so you can make additional text appear above a field when that field appears on your screen.

So when the field appears onscreen, its helper text will appear with it.

However, if your field could appear for many different reasons — and you only want to display the ONE SPECIFIC REASON that the field appeared onscreen this time around — Airtable does not offer that feature.

For that feature, you would need to turn to Fillout’s advanced forms for Airtable.

Fillout is 100% free, and it offers hundreds of features that Airtable’s native forms don’t offer, including what you’re looking for. You can have as much static text as you want appear or disappear onscreen, based on whatever criteria you want.

I show how to use a few of the advanced features of Fillout on these 2 Airtable podcast episodes:

• Using Fillout to create an eSignature approval process with PDF file creation.
• Using Fillout to create an order entry form with line items.

Hope this helps!

Oh yes, when you need very granular and “complex” conditional logic you’ll want to follow Scott’s answer above and use Fillout forms (direct integration with Airtable).

Airtable forms are currently super limited (more on the comparison vs. Fillout here), so it would be really really really really appreciated if you could fill out this Airtable feature request form and make some noise about this limitations and your use case :D

If you don’t mind cluttering up your base with a ton of helper fields you could do this natively!  (You should probably just use Fillout lol)

I created one field per possibility and gave it a default value to explain why the Attachment field was visible, and as you can see at the end both fields popped up:

Form setup:

It’s a bit cumbersome but could work. I will look into Fillout as well. Thank you to everyone for your help!

I have submitted a ticket for more form functionality as well. :)
