I need to only display a field in the child post cred form if the parent post has a field set to a certain value.

I'm trying the following...

[wpv-conditional if="( ($(wpcf-deck-event-vessel-selection-options).id([wpv-search-term param="parent_deck-event-overviews_id"])) eq '3' )" debug="true"]
<div class="form-group">
<label>Which Vessel/s is this listing available on?</label>
<div class="checkbox-scroll-area">
<p>Scroll for more...</p>
[cred_generic_field field='deck-event-vessels' type='checkboxes' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"default":[],
"options":[ [wpv-view name="dynamically-generated-list-of-vessels"] ]
}
[/cred_generic_field]
</div>
</div>

[/wpv-conditional]

Using the above, the debug result is as follows...

####################
wpv-conditional attributes
####################
Array
(
[if] => ( ($(wpcf-deck-event-vessel-selection-options).id(1523)) = '3' )
[debug] => true
)

####################
Debug information
####################
--------------------
Original expression: ( ($(wpcf-deck-event-vessel-selection-options).id(1523)) = '3' )
--------------------
After matching 2 numeric strings into real numbers: ( ('') = 3 )
Matched '3' to 3

Given that the above says Matched '3' to 3, what could be the reason for the contents of the conditional still not showing on the front end?

Hello Jon,

I have added following shortcode for getting parent field value:

// Shortcode to get deck parent field value
add_shortcode('get_deck_parent_field_val', 'get_deck_parent_field_val_func');
function get_deck_parent_field_val_func() {
	if(isset($_GET['parent_deck-event-overviews_id']))
		return do_shortcode("[types field='deck-event-vessel-selection-options' id='".$_GET['parent_deck-event-overviews_id']."']");
	
}

And used following shortcode in CRED:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[get_deck_parent_field_val]' eq '3' )"]

Now condition working fine.

You can check result here:

Hi Noman,

I see this working now, but unfortunately the same does not work for an Edit Post form.

The following will output in the Edit form with no issue:
[types field='deck-event-vessel-selection-options' id='[wpv-post-field name="_wpcf_belongs_deck-event-overviews_id"]'][/types]

However when placed in a conditional it simply does not work and the debug box doesn't appear either.
[wpv-conditional if='( '[types field="deck-event-vessel-selection-options" id="[wpv-post-field name="_wpcf_belongs_deck-event-overviews_id"]"][/types]' eq 'Specify Vessel/s Per Route or Departure' )' debug="true"]Success[/wpv-conditional]

Could you advise on how to implement this in the Edit form?

For reference, the edit form ID is 111 and I am testing this code at the top of that form (incase you need to find it)

Hi Noman,

The issue with the Edit form appears to have been resolved with the following...

[wpv-conditional if="( $(wpcf-deck-event-vessel-selection-options).id(deck-event-overviews) eq 'Specify Vessel/s Per Route or Departure' )"] success [/wpv-conditional]

Can you foresee any issues with using this method to get the parent post ID?

Hello Jon,

This method don't have any issue. This condition was not working in CRED Create Post Form that's why I provided you some workaround.

Great to hear that you have resolved this issue.

Thank you
