I've built the logic chain (which works) in show element box but when I go to other field and back, it's doesn't stay. Keeps reverting back to an original one that was there. I've tried saving, clicking out of field, etc. Please advise.

Looks like I can only get two parameters but I need more. I want this:

(( [NUM] is "1" ) or ( [NUM] is "2" ) or ( [NUM] is "3" ) or ( [NUM] is "4" ) or ( [NUM] is "5" ) or ( [NUM] is "6" ) or ( [NUM] is "7" ) or ( [NUM] is "8" ) or ( [NUM] is "9" ) or ( [NUM] is "10" ) or ( [NUM] is "11" ) or ( [NUM] is "12" ) or ( [NUM] is "13" ) or ( [NUM] is "14" ) or ( [NUM] is "15" ) or ( [NUM] is "16" ) or ( [NUM] is "17" ) or [NUM] is "18" ) or ( [NUM] is "19" ) or ( [NUM] is "20" ))

Screen shot attached.

Hi Dennis.
Are you trying to set a condition based on the value of a dropdown?
The conditionals only work on the values you can choose not the ones you can enter. The conditionals for an input would be empty or not empty.
From a dropdown the conditional would look like this.
( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( [NUM] is "1" ) or ( [NUM] is "2" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "3" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "4" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "5" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "6" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "7" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "8" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "9" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "10" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "11" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "12" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "13" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "14" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "15" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "16" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "17" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "18" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "19" ) ) or ( [NUM] is "20" ) )


I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Basically, a visitor enters a number (1-20) in the NUM field. If he/she enters 1, then field 1 displays below. If he/she enters 2, then field 1 and 2 display. and so on. I can make it work for 2 but not more fields.

Here's mine with the conditions set as above. Selecting 0 will show nothing.

It looks like I can only have two parameters with an OR statement. I need multiple...is "1" or "2", etc. Can I use a "greater than" sign....>?

For example, field 1 would show for any number from 1-20. Field 2 would show for any number from 2-20, etc.

I figured it out! Had to manually add each OR statement one with the drop downs rather than type it in for some reason. Thanks!
