Conditional operators in relevant field

Support
1

Hi list,

I tried the 'or' operator for two fields but it does not work

Example I wanted a field to not show up until I have to variables

${var1} = 'value' or ${var2} = 'value'

Does anyone have a link to details on operators?.

Thanks,

Nome

Nome,

'or' works. There must be an another issue with your form. Make a 1
question form and try or.

Hi Nome,

There are two things you can try:
(1) replace = for , e.g.: replace ${var1}='value' by ${var1},'value'
(2) add brackets: (${var1}, 'value' or ${var2},'value')

Good luck!

A mistake I made early in form building, which could be the cause of your
issue, is not knowing that the relevant fields need to use the syntax of
"selected(${Var},"1")" if it is referring to a "select_multiple" question.
If you use the ${Var}=1 syntax for a "select_multiple" it won't always
function as expected.
