Apply conditional logic to your registration forms to collect more specific information from attendees
Conditional registration fields will only show up if a specific response was given to an earlier field. For example, you may ask your registrants for the country they are located in. If they select "United States" then you might want a conditional field that asks them their state as well.
A conditional custom registration field consists of two parts: the independent field and the dependent field.
- Independent field: This field is displayed to everyone who opens your registration form. If registrants submit a certain answer, the dependent field will appear.
- Dependent field: This is the field that appears only to guests that submit a certain answer in the independent field.
So if we wanted to ask American registrants to tell us what state they live in, we'd make "Country" the independent field. Here's how it'll look for registrants. Then we'd trigger the dependent field, "State," to appear only when the registrant indicates that they live in America (the value).

How can I add conditional registration fields?
Create Your Independent Field
You independent field is just another ordinary registration field. Create this field and ensure that it is not a hidden field.
Create Your Dependent Field
Next you'll go through the same steps to create your dependent field. This time, look for the Dependent Field setting. Enable this and you'll see some additional fields appear.
6. Once you select Dependent Field, two prompts will appear below it.
- Show this field when..... - A dropdown menu containing all of your custom registration fields. Select your desired independent field from this list (i.e., "Country").
- Underneath Have the following value(s), enter the answer that will trigger the dependent field to appear (i.e., "United States").
- If you are using checkbox fields for the independent field, the matching value will be either "true" for checked or "false" for unchecked
The value that you put in is equal to must match exactly to a response given by an attendee. This includes letter case and spaces.
