Hi, we have previously used the below code to include or exclude a form field.

[cred_show_group if="( $(location) eq 'Location1' )" mode="fade-slide"]
[cred_show_group if="( $(location) ne 'Location2' )" mode="fade-slide"]

What code do we use if we have 5 Locations and we want to show a field on 2 of them or hide field on 2 of them?

Hello,

You can use "OR" and "AND" logic Operators in your shortcodes, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/cred-conditional-display-engine/#logic-operators
section "Logic Operators"

For example:

[cred_show_group if="( ( $(location) eq 'Location1' ) OR ( $(location) eq 'Location2' ) )" mode="fade-slide"]
...
[/cred_show_group]

Thank you! That worked for the 'eq' but did not work for the 'ne'

[cred_show_group if="( ( $(location) ne 'Location1' ) OR ( $(location) ne 'Location2' ) )" mode="fade-slide"]

The conditions you mentioned above will output the result always.

According to the description you mentioned above:
What code do we use if we have 5 Locations and we want to show a field on 2 of them or hide field on 2 of them?
You can try as I mentioned above:

1) show a field on 2 of them

[cred_show_group if="( ( $(location) eq 'Location1' ) OR ( $(location) eq 'Location2' ) )" mode="fade-slide"]
show a field on 2 of them
[/cred_show_group]

2) hide field on 2 of them

[cred_show_group if="( $(location) ne 'Location1' ) AND ( $(location) ne 'Location2' )" mode="fade-slide"]
hide field on 2 of them
[/cred_show_group]

Great thanks that worked!

So to hide fields we need to use AND instead of OR.
