Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently

    Hello,

    I am trying to use the skip to/ hide page feature, and when I initially set up the rule, it worked. However, once I added a few more conditions and tested the form, some of the conditions worked, and some did not. Here is an example.

    Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 3 Screenshot 82 (this page needs to be hidden)

    Here are the other conditional logic rules I have set, just in case you see a conflicting rule.

    Some of these rules are working, and some are not. I can not find a common reason why they do not work.

    Isn’t hiding thank you for your interest page

    ·        Bump out or dormer on 2n, 3rd floor

    Hi Jena,

    I cloned and tested your form, and was able to replicate the issue. To fix this, instead of hiding the page 2 when “2nd floor over existing first floor is selected”, create a condition to skip that page. Let me show you how to do this:

    1. In the Form Builder, click on the Settings on the orange navigation bar at the top of the page.
    2. Select Conditions on the left side window.
    3. Hover your mouse over the condition and click on the Pencil icon.Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 1 Screenshot 110

    Set up the condition like the screenshot below and click on the Save button once done.Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 2 Screenshot 121To hide the “Thank you for your interest” page, disable the condition associated with this and create a new one with the same condition. Let me walk you through it:

    1. In the Form Builder, click on the Settings on the orange navigation bar at the top of the page.
    2. Select Conditions on the left side window.
    3. Click on the Gear icon of the affected condition, and click on Disable.Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 3 Screenshot 132
    4. Select Disable.Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 4 Screenshot 143
    5. Click on the Add Condition at the top of the page and select Skip To/Hide A Page. Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 5 Screenshot 154
    6. Set up the condition like the screenshot below and click on the Save button once done.Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 6 Screenshot 165

    When "Bump out or dormer on second or third floor" is selected, instead of using the "Skip To/Hide A Page" condition, use the "Show/Hide Field" condition. Let's do it:

    1. In the Conditions page, click on Add Condition at the top of the page and select Show/Hide Field.Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 7 Screenshot 176
    2. Set up the condition like the screenshot below and click on the Save button at the bottom of the page.Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 8 Screenshot 187

    Here are the results:

    • When "2nd floor over existing first floor is selected"

    • When "Bump out or dormer on second or third floor" is selected,

    Hello, I have fixed the form based on your recommendation and it fixed my issue. However, now the "date" form element is showing even though I have it set to "hide". Thank you

    Hi Jenna,

    The Date field is showing because of the condition below:

    Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 1 Screenshot 40

    When a condition like this is added, the Date element will only hide when the set option is selected. In this case, Exterior Structure (Garage, Portico, Porch). You can disable this condition to hide the Date all the time. Let me show you how it's done:

    1. Open your form in Form Builder, and in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    2. In the menu on the left side of the page, click on Conditions.
    3. Hover over the affected condition and click the Gear Icon, then click Disable. That's it. Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 2 Screenshot 51Skip to/ hide a page conditions not working consistently Image 3 Screenshot 62
