Conditional Logic: IF a Paragraph Text field is NOT EMPTY

All Topics → → Conditional Logic: IF a Paragraph Text field is NOT EMPTY

I have 24 questions, each with the (the same) three select options.

I want to ask ONE of the following questions, but not both:

  1. ALL IN ONE: Why did you select ALL of [category]?
    This one is easy, using the conditional logic.
  2. NONE IN ONE: Why did you select NONE of [category]?
    This one I want to appear only if the ALL question is not asked. (For cases where the user dispersed their answers in only two of the three categories.)
    This does not work—yet.
The easiest thing would be if the Conditional Logic allowed an option to select one of the Paragraph Text entries with the condition IS NOT EMPTY. But the Paragraph Text entries do not show up as an option in Conditional Logic.
I tried creating an admin only visible Data From Entries field that pulls from each of the ALL IN ONE paragraph text questions.
On the NONE IN ONE question, I added the following conditions to HIDE the question if ANY of the conditions are met:
  1. IF [each of the 24 questions] IS NOT  [category]
  2.  IF [each of the Data From Entries] IS NOT Anything

This approach did not work. Any advice here?

 

Can you provide a link to your form so I can get a clearer idea of what you need to accomplish? conditionally showing/hiding fields based on paragraph fields isn't currently an option.

I am just testing the conditionals, so seeing it will not help. Here's an illustration:

The survey asks participants to categorize 24 cards. Let's say for simplicity's sake the categories are Apple, Orange, and Banana.

When they are done categorizing, we ask them follow-up questions about their choices. The majority of the follow-up questions review the cards they misplaced and ask them why. This is easy with the current Conditional Logic settings available.

If they they put all the cards into the category Apple, we ask them, "Why did you place all the cards into Apple?"
This is easy with the Conditional Logic settings available, by saying if the answer for each card is Apple, then show the question.
If they put 10 of the cards into Apple, and 14 into Banana, we want to be able to ask them, "Why did you not place any cards into Orange?"
This is also easy with the Conditional Logic settings available, by saying if the answer for every card is not Orange, then show the question.

The part I cannot figure out is:
If we ask, "Why did you place all the cards into Apple?" we don't want to also ask the second question. So "Why did you not place any cards into Orange?" should be hidden in that case.

Since "Why did you place all the cards into Apple?" will be required, I thought the best way to do this would be to have the condition:
if "Why did you place all the cards into Apple?" is NOT BLANK, then hide, "Why did you not place any cards into Orange?"

Since the answer is free-form, there isn't a specific input value we can use for a conditional variable.

Let me know if that makes sense and thank you so much for your help.

(This is my second client project using Formidable, and the first one worked really, really well. Thank you for creating a great product.)

I understand what you are trying to do. This type of advanced conditional logic isn't supported in our plugin. It sounds like you may need to create some custom javascript to do this calculation.
