Features: Dependent Fields

Create dependencies between fields in the form.

There are many situations where the use of dependencies between fields is essential for a project.

For example, in a store with dissimilar products, the fields for the details of one product may be different from the fields of another product, in which case it would be necessary to use dependencies to display fields depending on the selected product.

Dependencies with Other Fields

To define dependencies with other fields, it is necessary to use Calculated Fields as auxiliary fields. You should simply use the field as part of the equation associated with the calculated field, and create dependency rules depending on the result of the equation. The auxiliary fields in the form's interface are not relevant. To hide them, tick the "Hide Field From Public Page" checkbox.
