Conditional form dramas

Squiz Matrix Support
1

Hi guys,

I would like to make a simple feedback form using out of the box Squiz goodness.

There are 3 questions,

  1. A field for the users feedback
  2. A YES/NO option list for “Please contact me with a response”.
  3. If YES is selected, the third question will show requesting an e-mail address. If NO is selected this question will not show.

The e-mail address is a required entry, but not if NO is selected.

Can anyone recommend the best way to do this? I would like to avoid JS so we can modify this in the future without bothering our busy web devs.

Thanks for your help!

If you want to avoid JS you would have to make it a multi step form with the email field on the second page and conditionally show it using keyword modifiers based on the response to the previous question on step 1.

I would still recommend using JS as it wouldn’t require much to get it working that way and it would save you having to split the form into 2 pages.

Modify your requirements to validate the Email field to be filled in if yes to question 2.

Expected outcome:
If the user selects “Yes” and does not enter an Email, an Error Message appears.
If they Select “No” and no email entered the form will be submitted.

How to
Use a Select type question for "“Please contact me with a response” and add values to each Text (answer). Yes = 1 No = 2

Simple Validation Rules
Have the Email question set to Required Entry = Required.
Enter a message in “Custom Required Error” such as “You have not provided your email address”.
Then tick the box to add a condition to this validation rule.
Select the question 2 (asset ID).
Select the “is less than” option and enter number “2” minus quotation.

Hope this is a better alternative solution.

Thanks so much guys! I used both of your answers- conditions and a few lines of javascript to hide the textbox when not needed.
