I was wondering if it were possible to, on post creation forms, show one field conditional upon the answers in another, checkbox, field. This could be made to happen in the Post Field Group -> Set Conditions -> Advanced Text Mode field (I understand it won't work with the Simple Conditional Fields) or in the Post Form. I want it to act like standard conditional fields in the post form, so that when you select the correct option from the checkbox, the next field appears. However, it doesn't have to act that way in the backend.

Thanks.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

As I understand - we are talking about CRED form here and you want to show/hide some fields based on checkbox option selection.

For example:

[cred_show_group if="($(checkboxes-slug) eq  '1' )"  mode='fade-slide']
 ...Your required field to display  here
[/cred_show_group]

Did you check the following Doc:

Hey, thanks, that was a tool I didn't know existed, and it works really well with checkboxes - I wonder why some of the other conditional tools (like in creating Post Fields) won't play well with them?

Anyway, that worked perfectly. I appreciate the great support.
