It’s here! You can now configure form fields so that they display or hide based on the submitter’s responses in previous fields.

conditional-form-response

Here’s how to use it in the form builder:

  1. Underneath the field title/description, turn ON the toggle switch labeled “Show field only when conditions are met.”
  2. Choose another field and the value or condition it should meet.
  3. Like with filters, you can add as many conditions as you’d like to a field.

And here’s some useful tips:

  • You can chain together multiple conditional form fields in a sequence—i.e., use one conditional form field as the condition for another form field
  • You can make conditional form fields required! When a conditional form field is set as required, it is hidden by default until its condition is met. Once its condition is met, the form will still require it to be filled for submission.

More information can be found in the conditional form fields support article.

Did you prefill that with “8” or is that from a linked record?

Nice! Can you pull prefilled fields from other tables for the same form, if you wanted to?

Hi there!

To give you even more options to work with conditional fields, at miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form that integrates seamlessly with Airtable. With our form, you can create individual or grouped conditions to show or hide fields based on the values of other fields. Plus, with our versatile Save & Continue mode, you can calculate formula fields and use them to control field visibility as well!

You can calculate the formulas manually before submitting the form or periodically every few seconds:
