Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have a CPT which are able to be assigned to regular WordPress Categories. For the field group assigned to this CPT, am I able to make a data dependent condition based on the category?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hello,

The Data-dependant condition works for custom fields, for taxonomy(including category), you can try to setup the condition in anther tab "Taxonomies".

For example, edit your custom field group, in section "Settings for *** group", click button "Edit", click "Taxonomies" tab, here you can setup condition on "Taxonomies" category, see screenshot Taxonomies.JPG

I assume your are using WordPress block editor to edit your post, if it is, you need to choose the specific term, save the post, and fresh your browser, and test again.
