Show or hide a question

Conditional questions that appear only when they are relevant.

Each answer shows or hides what follows. Try one.

A show rule keeps a question hidden until its condition is met; a hide rule does the opposite. Use show for follow-ups ("You said other; what was it?") and hide for questions that stop applying.

Behaviour on the page

Hidden questions are not rendered at all, so they do not leave a gap, and they never count towards required validation while hidden.

In the responses

A question somebody never saw is recorded as blank rather than skipped, and the responses table shows an em dash in that column.

Keep it shallow

Two levels of conditional depth is usually the limit before a form becomes hard to reason about. Beyond that, a page break and a skip rule is clearer.
