With dependent fields, you can display additional fields based on visitors' responses to a previous field. For example, if your business is a bakery, you can ask visitors if they like cake and, if so, ask what flavor of cake they like.
Please note: it’s recommended to use the updated forms editor to create and manage forms instead. This article should be used for reference for existing forms only. Learn more about adding conditional logic to forms.
Before you get started
Before you get started, please note the following:- Dependent fields can only be used with regular forms, they cannot be used with pop-up forms.
- Only existing fields can be used as dependent form fields. If you're using a new field as your dependent field, you will need to create the new field before you begin.
- You can only add dependent form fields to a regular form field. You cannot add an additional level or layer to a dependent form field. For example, you cannot add an additional dependent form field to an existing dependent form field.
