Hi, I seem to have a problem with the following rule. It always ignores the first half (before the "or" statement).
This was setup using the selection option with in WFB, and has not been typed.

( ( ( ( ( ( [Type] is "Single Seater" ) and ( [Height] is "Standard" ) ) and ( [Size] is "<850mm" ) ) or ( [Type] is "Single Seater" ) ) and ( [Height] is "Standard" ) ) and ( [Size] is "Unlimited" ) )

if in the drop downs that I have setup, I select only the options in the first half, It will not display the element.
However to change the options to that of the second half and all of a sudden the element is displayed.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong. I basically want to be able to have the element display for either groups of options.

The form builder doesn't do less then or more then clauses.
This
<850mm

needs to be this
850mm

You can write your own conditionals and use the html element to include them in your form if you need the > < statements.

Hi Eric, The less than or greater than sign, was not actually used as part of the conditional clauses. It was part of the drop down options to choose from as such.

The rule that has been shown at the top does actually work if I remove from the 'or' statement onwards.
In fact both halves of the rules work if I only used one half or the other. But putting the 'OR' statement in the middle means it ignores the first half of the rule even though the conditions are met for the first half of the rule

That is why I was beginning to wonder if its a bug in the system, as either half of the rule works independently but adding both half together by the use of 'OR' seems to make it only except the last half of the rule

You can post on here if you want. Make a form with just the needed info on it and the conditions. You can do this easily with your existing form by saving it under a new name. Then zip it up and attach it.

Unfortunately the file even with only just a couple of the basic options, is still 596Kb in size once zipped. The system tells me that the its too large to upload.

It's the or statement that's causing the issue. Try using all ands.

How do I set up multiple conditions that can be met individually
So sometimes some one person might select the size and other times people will just select the unlimited option.

Is there another way that this can be done

How about adding more elements to act those condition on?
