Available Conditions

Feathery supports building conditional logic for navigating between steps, hiding / showing elements, and custom field validation rules..

Conditional logic allows you as the designer to determine when a navigation, validation or hide rule will run. The conditional logic is evaluated by the Feathery form at the appropriate time and if it evaluates true, the navigation happens or the validation sets the field/button invalid or the field/element/container is hidden.

Conditional logic (sometimes called rules) is built of logic expressions. Each logic expression has a left side which is a field on the form and a comparison operator. Depending on the comparison operator chosen, the logic expression may have a right side that can be either form field(s) or directly entered value(s). The right side can also be made up of multiple fields/values that are OR'd together. For example in the image below, the first logical expression reads as: if bus_company's selections include Greyhound or Megabus then the condition is true.

Multiple logic expressions may be AND'd as shown in the screenshot below to form the condition/rule.

The table below describes the supported logic comparison operators and where the apply.

is numerical

Evaluates true if the text in the field on the left side of the comparison is a number.

is text

Evaluates true if the text in the field on the left side of the comparison is not a number.

selections include

For multi-select type fields, this operator evaluates true if any of the selections in the field on the left side of the comparison are equal to the text or the text in the field on the right side of the comparison.

Applies only to multi-select checkbox fields and button groups.

selections don't include
